The second day, we already got bored with this city Andreas even wanted to go to another city! But we decided to see some places in Milan.

Well, Sanae-chan and I woke up on time, but boys could not wake up, hehehe. They kept drinking after we came back to the hotel last night, wow. Their room was smelling like so much alcohol 

Our first place for the second day was supposed to Duomo, because we couldn’t go up to the church yesterday. But…again, bad luck. The security guy left, and he closed the entrance I was thinking that there was no people so he decided to go back home and come back afternoon!! Italian style?!

Then, we went to Basiica di Santa Maria delle Grazie . This church is famous for ” The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. But guess what?? You have to make a reservation to see that painting two weeks in advance

So we kept walking to our next stop “Castello Sforzesco“!  I personally liked this castle, because there were a lot of exhibitions. Also, there was a sculpture of pieta by Michelangelo. This is his last sculpture, but he died before he could finish it. 

   Let’s go to the castle^-^

Finally, it was time to go to Duomo, and we managed to go up by steps this time 

   Hello~from the top of Duomo!

  Oh no! I can’t get out from here
Andreas went to toilets, but the lady did not close the gates at the restraunt, hahaha. We did not tell her that there was one more person inside!

Then, we walked on the fashion street, Via Montenapoleone and went to the train starion to buy the ticket. All of us had enough time already in Milan, so decided to go Venezia next day

After that, we went to Naviglio area. It was supposed to be many bars and night clubs around. BUT…there was nothing going on. People were just walking and doing nothing?! So we just had some drinks at the bar and prepared to leave this city!

After we came back from Japan, we took a short trip to Milan, Italy. Our companion this time were Mr.Surago and Sanae-chan. It was more fun that usual, because we have more people to travel! This ticket Helsinki-Milan was amazingly cheap! We were so lucky, yay!

Lately, the security check at Vantaa airport is so annoying, because even I separated with the liquid they want to check with my stuff. I hate it, because I have to repack everything after they finish checking my stuff. Of course, they checked my stuff this time, too.

The flight was 3.5 hours to get to Milan. It was good for Andreas and Mr.Sugaro. Why…Because they can have some drinks.

 Let’s go to Milan!

  beer, beer, and beer!

 Oops

  It was so close to Alpens.

The airport was quite smaller than what I expected. That airport was supposed to be International airport, but it looked like a country side airport. The baggage claim was so small and there were so few people…

Then, we took an airport bus to the city center! After we got out the bus, all of us felt strange. Why…? Because there were no people on the street, no traffic, and So quiet!!! We thought like, ” Maybe, it is siesta time(nap time) for them. It should be more crowdy and people at night” It looked a ghost town.

After we checked in the hotel, it was time to have a lunch. There was a couple of restaurants around the hotel. We thought that the price was decent at that time. But guess what….??!! It was ridiculous….Because they charged 5 euro a piece of bread for each person PLUS 12 percent of service fee, oh no~~. After this experience, all of us were so scared with free breads in Italy. Even we asked about the breads one time! Andreas ordered Lasagna, but he said ” My food was like frozen food, it is cold inside?!” That was very bad luck from the beginning of the trip…

 高すぎるレストラン　expensive restaurants

Anyway, we had some energies to walk around the city!

Our first stop was Duomo! It was just gorgeous church. It took for 500 years to built, wow wow. We wanted to go up to the church, but it was closed already…another bad luck.

   

      Jesus on the Web!?

There was Galleria Vittorio Emanuele next to Duomo. It was just a shopping mall where built in 1867. There was Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and so on Macdonald’s was also there, hahaha. It was fun for window shopping! I must come back after I become rich

Then, we went to Bar Magenta inside of Sempione Park. One of Mr.Sugaro’s friend suggested to go there, because he enjoyed at this bar. It seemed like that in Milan all of the bars have Happy hour between 6pm-9pm. You can get one drink and some snacks with 6 euros. It was quite okay. Better than Finnish foods The atmosphere was nice! Many people were enjoying drinking and talking. It was a very good night
