Milan

Milan - A short stop (well it was meant to be!) for the important things.
An early start being woken up at 5am by a blaring alarm, but we could relax a bit with breakfast being delivered at 7 and disembarking at Milano Rogeredo at 7 40. After a bit of confusion getting on metro arrived at Milano Centrale and dropped off our bags for a morning of sightseeing. The station is as magnificent and sprawling as I remember, but so glad to see new sights this time. Sadly La Scal awas shrouded in scaffolding, but Galleria Vottorio was a few steps away ( and yes I can see the resemblance to Block Arcade!) And the a few steps further to the Duomo. It was all magnificent and busy!
We were supposed to catch 1.10 train to La Spezia and the Riomaggiore, and 90 minutes later we were on the train.
Riomaggiore is as beautiful and quaint as I remember - but more cafes!
We are staying opposite the Church on a little piazza and overlooking main street - just delightful - uphill but not too many steps. Dinner at a nearby Cafe and after a stroll in the balmy twilight a stop for some local vino bianco before bedLeggi altro
