The contrast between Naples and Milan was palpable. Naples was full of hustlers selling fake handbags, rubbish adorned the streets and it took us two days to find a blade of grass. In Milan the handbags were the real thing, the streets were clean and orderly and there were parks throughout the city (for us to take our nanna naps in). Milan was the place to marvel at the Duomo Cathedral and we even got to climb onto its roof. It was also the place to visit art galleries and we went to several and saw various versions of ‘the last supper’ including the famous one.
From Milan we travelled to Turin, famous of course for the shroud and chiccolato a panne (a thick chocolate drink that melts on the way down, yumm). We also toured a palace of the Savoy dynasty.
Tomorrow we head to Genoa, our final destination in Italy.
