Day 22, 21-07
Got up super early today to see St Mark’s Square one last time without crowds of people in the way. It was a lot emptier this time but the stage set up was still there from the James Taylor concert which was a bit of a bummer, we couldn’t get a good 360 view but oh well. After a slight mare to the Venice Santa Lucia train station, we left from Venice for Milan. Got to Milan around 3pm – it’s ridiculous being around roads and cars again! Actually Nush pointed out that was why Venice was so quiet, which was true.. Milan is big and since we only have tonight here, there’s not much room for discovery, which has almost made us even more cbfThe general feeling here is a lot more industrial and it seems to lack a lot of the character that makes Italy so culturally rich. We walked around the main fashion district – all the big brands etc. The area is lovely and well presented, although it doesn’t really stand out after seeing the brands again and again in every country and city. Found a mean gelato store – GROM (NOM) so we indulged in crème de grom. Hilarious and delicious. The plan was to go to down to the rivers south west of the main city centre for dinner and ‘nightlife’ but we are slightly too comfy in our new room and tomorrow we are off to one of the most anticipated places of our trip!
