Shortly before I left for Boston, I got an email from a friend planning a day trip to Milan, Italy. It was only 15 euro for the round-trip plane ride - so... why not!? There ended up being 13 of us crazy ladies who went. We stayed in a really nice hostel that even had a private bathroom in each room (for only 25 euro each). We left at 8:30 on Tuesday night, and were home again by 1:30 on Wednesday night.
We had a lot of fun. We broke off into different groups and did our own thing. The group I was with went to downtown Milan to start. We took a bus tour of the city, getting off at the Castello for lunch & requisite gelato. Wandered the streets some more, then headed back to Bergamo (the city where Ryanair flys into). We liked Bergamo more than Milan... I think we all enjoyed the laid back atmosphere better ... Above is a castle at the top of Bergamo city that we walked to ...
This (above) is a view of Bergamo from the top of the city ... Below is a picture of the Castello in Milan. We did have a fun chance to bargin for knock-off Prada purses here ...
This is the Dom in downtown Milan. It was very pretty on the outside - we didn't take time to go inside ... Gelato was calling & there were other things to see ....
