Palazzo della Ragione

After we finished our Walking Art Tour, we were left to find our own way back the Piazza del Duomo. Somehow we managed to work out the tram system and find our way back so we were feeling a bit pleased with ourselves. Travelling in another country thats primary language isn't English is a very new experience and I feel we will get more confident as we go along.

After a stroll around the Piazza we decided to do what all the tourist sites advise what not to do - we had lunch at a tourist cafe overlooking the Duomo. And I am so glad we did. We were sat right on the edge of the footpath with mopeds, cars and buses whizzing past as we ate our first Italian pizza. They were that close they could have grabbed a piece themselves as they drove past. There are so many stylish people here driving mopeds while looking totally glamourous.

It was an experience and one I'm glad we did. It was great to sit back and watch the world around us and just soak it all up. A great way to end our first day in Milan before heading back to our accomodation for the night.Read more
