Ibis hotel - Budget hotel.
We reached London Heathrow around 8pm. Slight delay due to busy airport runway, hence we took a few rounds hovering above the sky before landing. Upon landing, all we could feel was the intense coldness! Cold and tired, we quickly retrieve our luggage, bought a hoppa bus ticket and got to our budget hotel to stay for a night before flying to Milan. I was already having dry skin and bloodshot eyes due to the long flight from SG! I hit the bed immediately.
Woke up at 6am to get to the airport. Time for our first destination - Milan! It was an hour half flight to Malpensa airport. We flew over snow mountains in clear blue sky! Pretty!
Locals sunbathing under bright sun (but cold wind) in the park inside Castello castle.
This is me, with some Arc at the very end of the castle. We walked quite a distance to reach this point.
Bought a bus ticket to central station and then walked to our hotel. Berna hotel. Upon settling down, we headed out for late lunch around central station, and then bought 2 day metro pass and went to Castello castle, Arc de pace and San Siro stadium. Dear wanted to catch the soccer match there, but all the cheaper tickets were sold out. He was really really down. Further more, we walked a VERY long way to the stadium. =( It was really tiring.
Last but not least, we saw this cart selling tidbits to tourists and I noticed that the chinese description for ice cream was really hilarious. "冰激凌"
Heavy hearted, we went back to the hotel and fire up tripadvisor app on iphone to search for a reasonable place to have our dinner. Le Osteria del Treno was the name of the restaurant. It was quite a good meal, but I didnt have much appetite due to the jet lag. Dear didnt felt the jet lag coz after all he was a frequent traveller! We returned to the hotel after dinner and I went to sleep after a shower.
