Milan Day 1 - Milan City

Thursday, May 28, 2009

// picture heavy - 26 total!

One thing that brightened up my day as we flew across in the plane was the strawberry yoghurt drink that they served. However, I had hot coffee spill all over me and my white tights soon after ARGH. NEARLY ruined my day!

Anyway that's besides the point
I had the awesomest holiday but here comes the first day summary - which is actually the most boring, compared to the other day anyway.

The weather was PHEW amazing..super HOT
Felt good sweating and getting skin burnt
Love the smell of sunscreen

Dress thrifted
Tan belt Sportsgirl (au)
Bag Topshop
Sandals New Look

R, K, me

These were the steps leading to the park near the hotel
We stayed somewhere between the Duomo Cathedral and Central Station
We'd hired a car but because parking was probably going to b a problem we left it at the hotel and walked about instead

At the park we had cold drinks and played on the swings!

Then we slowly walked towards the Duomo

On our way we:
Saw a policewoman whom we thought was going to a costume party
Ate YUMMY gelati
Spotted lots of colorful vespas
And heard lots of noisy trams go by

Strawberry - my favourite!

Tried to fix this overexposed shot but failed!

When we finally arrived at the cathedral I was dying of heat! But in a good way!
Anyway.. was really excited but you know WHAT

Roro and I were thrown out.. ok maybe that's a bit too dramatic, well we were refused entry because apparently we weren't dressed decently enough goddamnit

We thought of all sorts of things like
Perhaps I could pull down my dress to cover my legs and use her scarf to wrap my whole upper body. No, didn't actually do it.

SO we ended up walking AROUND the cathedral dejectedly.. taking lame photos along the way

Sorry I just HAD to include this
We saw this woman with a HUGE ASS
And so I trailed her until I got a good photo of it
Ha ha haha! :p

Oh come on I know some of you guys must do things like this too..


FOOD

It was SO hard finding a decent place to eat after that!
We walked to sort of a high street
Dropped by Zara
and were SO starving to death after

We walked for AGES and AGES through all these weird streets and lanes
And found nothing but shops with NO FOOD in it
Started to think that people in Milan survived on dust

But thank goodness for Wonderful Cafe (couldn't have been named better)
It was like finding an oasis in the sahara
A seat on the morning train
A size 6 dress in the sale rack
An old bar of chocolate at the bottom of my handbag. On a Monday. At 4pm after skipping lunch. And breakfast. With no money to buy any food with.

Anyway that's what it felt like

Needless to say the food was DELICIOUS
Reasonably priced too, a pizza was about 5-6 Euros.
I can never go back to normal pizza again.

Wanted donuts from this stall later on
But at 2.50 Euros for a PLAIN donut, no thanks!


Days 2 & 3 coming soon!

Wow, looks like so much fun! How do you have so much time to travel to so many places, I'm jealous.

Kaita said...

Gelati, vespas, sun dresses and huge asses? Sounds delightful! These pictures were adorable.

I know what you mean about loving the smell of sunscreen. The smell of sunscreen brings a wave of nostalgia- sunscreen reminds me of all the lazy days spent at the beach or the park.

I have to first say how hilarious you are on this post!

& i cannot believe it was that hard to find a place selling food, you all must have been mad pissed. well but the pizzas were really gems. the way the ham/meat was laid on the top, mama miaaaa it looks so good. i can taste it from here.

A dreamer said...

HAHHA i just have to laugh because you actually stalked that woman to take a photo of her ass.
too many 2.5 euro donuts i think.

Y said...

Marisa: You just have to make time for it!

Kaita: Yeah that is so true! It also reminds me of when I used to go swimming nearly every day!
