Destination: Milan
Today is Milan! Right now I'm at work, it's 9:30am, but at 2:30pm I'll leave for the day to go catch the bus to Stansted at Victoria. I'm all packed, my Heys X case has definitely come in handy and had held up well so far. Although now that it's getting colder I have to be a bit more creative in my packing. Anyway! Our flight is with Ryanair at 6:45pm and we should arrive in Milan at Linate airport at 9:50pm. From there we're taking a shuttle bus for 2 or 3 euro to Stazione Centrale and then we walk from there to our hotel (The Best Hotel - ha ha, a budget hotel that I'm pretty sure doesn't live up to it's name), according to map it's about 5 minutes away. From what I read about the area we're staying in there are a few restaurants and cafes around so that's good - we can go check them out this evening if we're not too tired. Tomorrow, it's up bright and early, because we're going to Cenacolo Vinciano - site of the Santa Maria Della Grazie convent to view The Last Supper in all it's deteriorating splendour - which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then to the Duomo - pictured. And that's all I can tell you right now because after that we're pretty much playing it by air. Back on Sunday! Ciao!

Don't forget to drink lots of espresso ... the Northern Italy style is awesome.
