I am getting increasingly worse at blogging and I am very sorry. So I am going to keep out short stays short and sweet so that I can at least get to everywhere that we have been and I can try and catch up on all my posts.
Our final stop in Italy was Milan. We were only there for 1 night on your way to Italy. We stayed in the Milan Chinatown area, which was interesting but Milan is not a city for cheap backpackers and so we found the cheapest spot and stayed there.
We took a train from Venice to Milan and right away coming into the train station Milan is impressive. The station was very beautiful and it has the most security I have seen in a train station. We went to see the cathedral which was with the trip to Milan by its self it really is a very impressive place. I never cease to be amazed by every cathedral that we see. Everyone is different and so uniquely beautiful, Milan's was no different.
Of course when you are in Milan you have to do some shopping so that is exactly what we did. We walked around until we found an affordable place to shop, which in Milan takes a lot of walking around, but we managed and got some good finds.
One thing that I did not really like about Milan is you really have to plan ahead in order to see the highlights there. Since no where else we have ever been in like this we didn't know and when we got there we realized if you wanted to go see The Last Supper painting we had to have tickets 2 weeks in advance the same with the Van Gough exhibit so we missed both of those things.
Since Milan is so expensive and we couldn't really afford to go out to eat there the food made us both a little sad cause we had fallen in love with Italian food. Even more since we had such amazing hosts who were great cooks, settling on our last night in Italy was disappointing.
We had such an amazing time in Italy and were really sad to leave when it came time to do so. In the time that we were there I was able to pick up on enough Italian to get around and I am happy to say that I have retained it enough to watch an Italian movie and understand it. The more time I spend in other countries learning different languages the more I wish I could stay somewhere long enough to become fluent, but I will just have to practice in my own time 😃
Our next stop was heading back to Greece to see Andra's Dad and Sister
