#boluineurope: Milan

Ok... ok... I know these are long overdue. I don't know how these travel bloggers keep up with posts. Haha... The Asia posts will creep up before you know it...

Well well Milan. Spent a quick weekend in Milan with the Pillow because he always wanted to see one of his favorite football team's stadium since God knows when. Unfortunately this time we were not able to catch a live game because we woke up late and ended up enjoying our brunch time in Lugano. It was about a 1 hour drive from Lugano to Milan. We headed straight to San Siro, and with a sad face, unfortunately the stadium was closed for the public and the museum was the only thing was open. We went in anyways.

After San Siro, we checked in to our hotel and head out to see the Duomo & Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping center. What's Europe without visiting an old church? Duomo was HUGEEEE and the Galleria was super pretty. Unfortunately it started to rain, but it ended up pretty cool roaming around town with an umbrella :) Plus of course, we had some gelato!

The following day after we checked out, we headed back to San Siro to do the stadium tour. The Pillow was really giddy.

this is his serious football player face

Then we headed back to the Duomo & Galleria to eat some yummy Italian food (I seriously look at pasta different now) and did some wallet damage (Rob got himself a Gucci wallet the day before and he bought me a Gucci sunglasses. Hello!)

Then we were ready to head back to Switzerland but with a pitstop at Milanello, where AC Milan players practice. It was seriously in the middle of houses and next to a corn field.

Honestly, I wasn't really to impressed with Milan. Maybe it's because we only spent a weekend there and didn't get a chance to explore more. Maybe because I've never had any really big interest in Italy in general. You can call me crazy. Haha. Maybe I'll give it a try next time.

Til the next one,
