Hi all,this is the last adventure story of the tour,unless something goes terribly wrong, we left Como at 10.30 a.m. and travel by train to Milan ,takes half an hr ,taxi to the hotel ,again Shirley is right on the money with her section ,we check in ,up to the room, beautiful,but a.c.is broken and they have the heater on in stead, it feels like we are in the tropics. We have a tour of Milan due at 2.15, so the group decide it would be good to go exploring, walking the streets of the fashion capital is not something you can do every day ,so we amble along the street, looking at every window that appears , it turns out the pick up point is less then 15minutes from the hotel even walking as slow as we did. What to do to fill in the time, wait a minute , yes I can feel it coming on, it is, yes let's say all together, it is PROSECCO time.
Time passes as time will do and it is time for the tour , this is mainly a bus tour with some walking , the main reason for this tour is to see Leonardo Da Vinci painting " the last supper"! The tour lasts 3hrs
We walked home and we decided being our last night on tour together we would eat out at some high class ristorante, but instead found this quaint little street side caffe , which served pasta, salads, fish, meat and pizza, what better way to finish a Italian holiday than with pizza.I again was at my best, using my Italian ,using words that waitress did not understand ,but getting a laugh from her and the waiter for trying . The pizza, the service, the atmosphere were special making our last supper together wonderful and a memory to keep forever.
Back at the hotel Di and I were going to have a goodbye drink while Shirley as she has done throughout went on line to get our boarding passes for tomorrows' flight. These drinks leads to more drinks ,cocktails, beer, wine and of course this leads to reminiscing.
We eventually say goodnight and with some sadness as this now ends the tour of Italy as all of us go our different way .Shirley, Di and I fly home, Karen and Balty stay to carry on their adventure in Italy and Thailand.
