DAY 5 ….last day in Italy!!!

DAY 6 (02 Oct 07, TUE) : VENICE - MILAN - LUCERNE

Sound like I can’t wait to leave Iltay??? Hahaha….cos we are going to Switzerland!!!! Yeah!

 

It was a 4 hour ride from the town Padova (outside Venice) to Milan. On the way, Nick is tempted to buy lotto at the Autogrill. He has been looking at the driving playing loto at every rest stop… ahahha…. In the end he bought a lotto ticket (10 euro) and won 20 euros….hhaha beginner luck! The tour guide even joke at us, she say “ now u 2 can eat in restaurant already, no need to sit by the street!”

 

It was a 2 hours break in the city of Milan. The Gothic Cathedral is really impressive! It took 500 years to build with 135 sculptures! It the most impressive cathedral so far.  

 

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuela II is equally nice with the glass dome shape in the center. There are star signs made of mosaics on the floor. Everyone would make a turn at the Taurus sign to bring luck…hahha… Nick say its his sign so he must turn! Hahahah....As this is the last stop in Italy, both Nick and myself decided to give ourselves a good treat for lunch. We have been eating those self-serve pizza and sandwiches since day 1 in Italy… we found ourselves a nice restaurant in the Vittorio Emanuela II, ordered a nice coffee and hot chocolate, fried seafood (inside only prawns and sotong) and best would be the lasagnas….The food are great! Especially the ambience. We both agree that this is the best meal in Italy. Hahaha… The portion of fried seafood is a bit too little for Nick. So we order a pizza. Its not common to share food in Italy. The waitress serves the pizza in separately 2 plates. Look at how big is the portion! We spend the waiting time looking at the people walking around…hahha… The bill come up to about 50 euros…. Both of us feel that it was well spent….. at least a nice meal in Italy.

 

Now we are on the coach to Switzerland…. We are coming!!!
