Well, in short, I think Italy has become one of my new favourite European country..hehe, for now, I still want to go to Split, Croatia and Scilly!! Well...haha the list never ends. I also want to travel more with my wife!
Anyway....Milano is definitely one of the most fashion, trendy, chic city that I have been. I also had the chance to see the wall painting of Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper. Impressive really. No photos there though. Huge.
Verona is a really nice mix of history and modernisation. Small but cute. It will be a tough choice to decide to go north for the Jan/Feb fashion sale (hehe for my wife) or to head south to Rome and Venice. Perhaps we will manage all. Haha...life...
Some changes to the blog, apparently, blogger has a new beta version, a move to corporate blogging with your Google account. For some reason, I can't seem to upload on my usual server, so I am linking from Flickr for this post.
Ok..photo time! Say spaghetti, gorgonzola, cannoleni and cheeze !
This is the main Duomo cathedral in Milano. Really impressive, albeit the untimely re-touch up of the exterior. At least I still could climb to the roof terrace! See photo below
Part of the whole Duomo square. This is one of the entrances to the golden fashion streets. Almost every lady here was carrying a LV, Gucci or Prada!!
Inside this covered shopping paradise! Maybe you can spot the Prada shop. This is just the begining....
Somehow, there was a certain character of this city that I liked.
This was my first photo of Verona. About 90 mins away from Milan by train. This was a really good day trip, away from the capital. And so I thought I was geting away from the fashion...hehe Anyway, I discovered a couple of interesting sights here.
This is the Arena. Third largest of its kind, open air amphitheatre. This looks like the one in Rome.
Quite cool eh. It's a city living in a city.
View from the top of the city.
The fashion continues...I really liked the shops, the walkways and cute cafes. Had lunch in a tucked away traditional pizza place. Hmmm....
No historical city goes without a number of bridges and castles. It was nice to walk around in the morning.
How many of you know that Julliet lives in Verona? A nice surprise to find this. Anyway, there was a shooting of a scene in the play "Romeo and Julliet" and here you see the Julliet...haha
A statue of Julliet and the famous window.
An unique art of its own. I found on two walls of her house, declarations of love in the form of letters, notes, sticky stuffs...hehe...but it's cool I think.
On a closer look you find...
