Up early this morning , sun is shinning and Milan here we come!!! Train from Baveno at 10.20 am. The train journey from Baveno to Milan was amazing,the train went along side Lake Maggiore for a good 40 mins the views were stunning over the lake and the mountains which had snow on the tops.When we arrived in Milan we got the underground to the Duomo Cathedral which was spectacular, had a walk round the area and did some window shopping in all the designer shops then stopped for a drink and a panini.We then went to the meeting point for our tour.We went inside the cathedral which was made out of marble and had 3200 saints on the spires and the outside facade.We then walked up the shopping mall to a statue of Leonardo de Vinci and past La Scala opera house ,from there we walked to the castle which we didn't even know was there! Stopped for a 20 min coffee break then on to see the last supper painting. The painting was large and painted on the wall of the dining room in the Santa Maria delle Grazie. We then headed back to the station to catch the train back to Baveno. To finish our day off we stopped at a restaurant overlooking the lake,then back to the campsite. We had good news about the wing mirror,it will be fixed on Thursday so we will then head over to Lake Como.
