Wondering Around Milan April 8, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Milano , trackbackOur full day in Milan was filled with tram rides and walking aimlessly. It was nice though since there is a lot of old architecture and other interesting (expensive looking too) things to see.
We have learned two things about Milan; it is a business city and you really only need one full day to see the city. This is primarily because everything tourists want to see is clumped in one area basically. There is the Galleria (which has Louise Vutton and many other expensive stores all inside a covered outdoor mall), the Domo (cathedral), the theater, and a couple of squares with sculptures in them.
The cathedral was quite possibly better than the N
otre Dome in Paris. We loved every minute of it and took just a couple of pictures since they don’t like people photographing the cathedral.
We also learned not to be polite to the people with the bracelets walking around the square. One of them threw a bracelet onto Chris’ arm while we were walking by and he tried to give it back and the man said its free; he is trying to raise money to sent to Africa for supplies. So Chris said thank you and the man gave one to me and started to demand ten euros for both bracelets. We told him we don’t have the money and please take them back, but he kept demanding. So we walked away. I feel almost bad for the other hand full of swindlers that approached us afterward, considering the response they got was a firm, almost t
hreatening, NO.
For dinner we had a traditional meal of tortellini stuffed with meat in a creme sauce with ham. It was delicious and for a reasonable price!
