Saturday - Fine We took full advantage of the buffet and coffee machine this morning, and after a 3 shot charge of coffee we had a nice stroll into town. There are so many clothes shops here in Milan, it seemed like all the streets we took to the Duomo this morning were filled with shops. Really fancy ones as well! We hung around out the front of the worlds fifth largest cathedral for awhile taking some happy snaps. It looked fantastic, and it looked like it ...

Tuesday : sunny We were tired this morning so we didn't get up all that quickly, well we never do when we have to checkout. Today we didn't have anything planned, just to maybe relax in a cafe. So we left the hotel and went to have some breaky. Then we organized our train tickets to the airport for later today, and found out where we needed to be to catch the train. The tickets here so far in Europe lack in detail big time, they have no info like platform no. ...

There was a bit of a line to get into Saint Peter's Basilica, it's Italy's largest church, but once we ...

Sunday : sunny Another early rise this morning, grant and I went down and grabbed some breaky from a cafe across the road. Kim wasn't up yet so I bought back something for her.

We bought a guided tour ticket, but had 30min before it started so we walked around the middle level before meeting the up with the...

Saturday : sunny Well the hotel room was massive and so was the included breakfast, it's a pity we had to change hotels. The new hotel isn't too bad though, it just doesn't come breakfast, but for 40 euro cheaper per night we were ok with that. We left the room and walked to the Spanish steps, stopping off to grab a coffee along the way. It was very nice to sit on the stairs for awhile in the sun. Next was Trevi fountain, and it was a fair bit busier, there we...
