To Milan and the Lake Region

15 years ago - #Italy

Every time we go to Italy, I say that we don't go to Italy enough. Why does it only happen once every few years? We had dinner with one of David's colleagues in Milan that tells us she goes to Rome twice a year. Granted, she's a hell of a lot closer, but still...we should be going ot Italy more. I haven't been to Rome in over 10 years! What's wrong with me? So even though it was a short trip (only 4 nights), and David would be at a conference a lot of the time, how could I pass up a trip to Milan with David?

I've Landed...What's Happening?

I flew to Milan by myself. David was coming in from England. So even though I got there ahead of time, David had not taken red-eye flight to get to Milan and he had already adjusted to the time change. I got to the hotel first and took a nap for a few hours. There is nothing like that first nap when you arrive in Europe from an overnight flight.

Last Day in Milan

Well, it was the last day in Milan. Part of this trip was an effort to escape the madness of the renovation, and in that sense, the trip was a total winner. I feel like I've "done" Milan, though I would never pass up any chance to visit Italy again. But I feel like there was a lot of the surrounding area that I would love to come back and explore: Lake Como and Verona are two biggies. I could imagine spending at least a week, casually bopping from one small town to the next.

Bellinzona

I've tagged this entry with "Italy" even though Bellinzona is in Switzerland. However, you would really never be able to tell that you left Italy in this part of Switzerland.
