Day 19 - Milan

Brad DenboComment

So...for the Last few days, we've been trying to book our Day 19 & 20 for Switzerland. That has not worked out. We were waiting for a reply, so we decided to head into Milan. Our first couple hours in Milan were a bit depressing. Very hot. Lots of mosquitos.  We managed to find luggage storage, but, apparently my backpack was "oversized". It would cost 30€ to store for 4 hours, so we decided to walk with it. He just made up a number after writing everything down and making us wait...very rude. We did find a great little pizzeria. Over 60 different pizzas. Very good.

During lunch, we decided to just stay in Milan today and find a place in Switzerland tomorrow a bit closer to our route to Basel. So, we decided to just find a quick cheap hotel on Hotwire. It worked out pretty well and found a place close by.  We dropped our luggage and tried to find The Last Supper.  We found it...but, during the expo, they require reservations, and no reservations are available until Wednesday. Darn, the 3D version from the restaurant will have to be good enough. We then decided to walk around for a bit in the area and stumbled upon a great wine bar. We even met a distributor and he invited us to the winery. We didn't really have enough time, so we told him we couldn't make it. Great wine though.

Then, we continued onto the park. We got some great views of Milan from the tower, saw another Arch, and listened to a bit of live music. Lindsey got eaten alive by Mosquitos, so we left pretty quickly back to the hotel.  

Pretty sure he's pondering their butts. Just look at his eyes.

Now, time to find dinner. We ate at a horrible place that doesn't deserve mentioning, but then we went though a gay pride festival.
