Milan and the day i spun on a bulls balls
We left florence and hit the train to milan, when we got on the second train and found our cabin we had to kick out an old women from our seats, she spoke no word of english. Luckily the guy next to her looked at her ticket and told her she was In the wrong carriage. The train journey was long, i managed to finish my jeremy clarkson book on the way and get a few games of scrabble in.
We arrived in milan, the hotel instructions told us to get tram 33 to the hotel. We managed to find the stop and buy a tram ticket but god we were completly lost, the tram didnt have the stop name on it and we were just stuck. We ended up getting a taxi to the hotel. The hotel mozart was supposed to be a 4* hotel but it was clearly run down a little maybe 4* in its hayday. Turns out the tram 33 no longer runs to the hotel because a new underground that is being built.
We walked to the san siro to buy tickets for the inter milan v chievo tickets, if inter won they would be crowned champions. We got to the ground and all the ticket offices were shut, two ticket touts offered us 2 tickets for €120, we refused , he then offered €90. He had two different styled tickets so we refused as we didnt know what was legit.
We then got an overground tram, which looked like blackpool specials to duomo. On the journey the tram manged to hit a car, unlike england nobody got out they just both carried on and checked the damage at the next stop. No damage to the tram so we carried on. We walked to the santa maria church this was very impressive , a large gothic building which was supposed to have taken 300 years to build and have over 2000 statues around it.
We then walked in the main shopping area, in the centre were the 4 most richest companies going. Louis vitton, prada, spagnoli and you guessed it, oh wait no you wont it was a macdonalds. Yes in the fashion capital of the world, louis, prada and spagnolia enjoy a good old big mac. There is a bull here and it is said that if you spin on its balls 3 times its good luck. So i spun on them 3 times, the hole was quite large and everyone must of been doing this for years. We got the overground tram back to the hotel and got some sleep.
