Milan

Our first nights in Italy, here in Milan. Arrived at 9:30ish in the first evening and here for two nights, so only a short visit to this city. (We had awoken to rain and purchased an umbrella – wet weather was not really on our agenda or clothing allowance.) The skies did clear and we didn’t get too wet. In our slightly tired states having been on the go for around 20 hours and a short sleep we headed for the cathedral and a well-known mall – the building not the shops. I liked the warm pinkish colour of the cathedrals marble exterior. The stained glass windows were pretty amazing as well. There was a slightly unusual modern sculpture of horses on a hill right next to the Cathedral – not sure what it was about but….





Just across for the cathedral was a mall, famous building I believe. It’s ceiling was a stunning curved, glass dome like structure that produced a yellowish colour inside when the sun shone. Would you believe it a MacDonalds and MacCafe in there!
