We took a fast train from Rome to Milan yesterday – 3.5 hours, average speed 270kph. Lovely green countryside.
We’re staying a few Metro stops from the city centre and after checking in, we headed straight back into the city to try and get in to see The Last Supper. No luck either yesterday or today, and it’s closed tomorrow. But we tried.
Milan is much more prosperous than Rome – we walked along the main shopping street to the Basilica and La Scala, and there were people everywhere carrying fancy shopping bags … at 7.30pm! And a lot of the shops were still open.
We’re going back to see the inside of the Basilica – it was very impressive from the outside with its stained glass all lit up. And we’ll go to the Museum of Science and Technology. I suspect Leonardo is the museum’s poster boy, but will report back!
