Milan, Italy

I haven't forgotten to blog about my holidays in UK. I know I stopped at day four. I still got a few days to write about. Anyway, let me start off with the day five. Four of us, JY koko, Danny koko, Lynnwei and I woke up at 4am to take the cab to Stansted airport for our flight to Milan, Italy. It was my first and the last time to be in the airport. The airport is not that bad but I guess it was meant for cheap flights aeroplane. Oops, did I say that? :P

Anyway, we did not check in any luggage as we only stay one night.

The flight took two hours and the timezone was pushed back one hour. Yay, we gained one hour to walk around the city. After arriving Milan airport, we took the bus to city centre. From there, we took underground train to our hotel. After checking in and leaving our stuff, we proceeded to Duomo.

Duomo cathedral. It's not very nice as it is still in renovation. Pity we don't get to see after renovation version. It would be definitely very beautiful.

The shopping centre is behind me. Stuff are really very expensive. I could only buy clothes from Zara which was nearby. Not only because of that, I could only wear children clothing as the adults one are big for me.

I was really hungry after accompanying JY koko and Danny koko around so I got lynnwei to help me to bug them for food. Both of them paid for our meals. Hehehe.. Since we were in Italy, we decide to have something Italians would normally eat.

This was taken the next day when it wasn't raining and we went in the cathedral. Yes, we came back here as it was raining the day before. You can see my hair was tied up differently compared to the day before. Anyway, we went in the cathedral, had a look around and finally took the lift up to the roof. Taking the lift cost 7 euro and taking the stairs cost 5 euro.

Inside the cathedral.

We like to have our jump even though it was just the two of us.

After that, we returned to hotel to check out and took our stuff along to see the original painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. The painting was really amazing. I can see some part of it wasn't really finished. Jesus's feet was cut off because it was destroyed by some people who decide to make a door underneath the painting. I bought a bookmark as a souvenir. The three of them bought even more stuff. I don't see a point in buying anything else because it is going to pile up in my room later.

After that, we went to the bus station central to take the bus to airport. It was quite early to go to airport but we wanted to go to the shopping mall nearby to walk around and probably to shop. I didn't end up buying anything else. The two guys bought a bag for mum as a appreciation for hosting them while they were in UK. I got to choose as apparently I would know what kind of bag mum likes.

Anyway, our flight was at 8pm and again, it was two-hour flight back and we lost one hour, reached UK at 11pm but only manage to get back after midnight. There was traffic jam which was why we were late back. Yes, traffic jam. It is London after all.
