A Long trip on Qatar airlines to Milan via Doha, but a 9pm flight time made it easier to sleep (although there were way too many kids on the flight). The food and service were good.

Finally in Milan. Not very busy at the airport at the time we arrived. Took the train to hotel which had friendly helpful staff . The hotel was in central location which was good for our short stay in Milan.

The lines were very long at The Duomo di Milan so we will visit again tomorrow

We both dislike crowds so we thought early morning visit would be better for both cathedral and shopping area

We stumbled upon some sort of food festival from different regions across Italy, held inside a castle. With lots of delicious tastings we were set for the night (almost)

Feeling quite tired after a long flight we had an early night..but not before enjoying an antipasto platter with a glass of grigio

Not the best presented platter but it was delicious

Doesn’t Steve look so tired?
