my journey continued..
After spending sometime time in zurich and surrounds city, It’s time to continue my journey to Milan, 3 words to describe my first expression in Milan is dust, crowded, and hectic. Milan central station is an old station that being renovated when we arrived, the city metro located outside the station (ok it’s inside but somehow i feel, the metro station it’s not connected to the station perhaps due to the fact that i have to walk in conventional stairs with strained ankle, it’s killin’ me) we arrived on hostel on the mid day, from the station we have to walk for 10 minutes, with my speed i have to walk for 20 minutes (when i remember that day i still could feel the pain on my ankle) thanx to risky and mei we’re able to arrive in hostel safely, the next 2 hours i spent with traveling to Turin *it’s a city of Juventus* well Rizky said we could see the towel with Jesus face *unfortunately the church is closed when we arrived there* by the time we arrived there I’m surprised when I saw the shopping lines in Turin despite of the size of the city Turin as a shopping street comprise of the expensive Italian branded shop *yeah I did feel I finally arrived in Italy on that moment* but with my sharp eyes I still saw H&M shop spout out between the expensive clothing line *go H&M!*.
Italy is famous with their piazza (square) , I dont really count how many piazza I have visited id one city has two piazza, so we’ve visited 22 piazza, that was a hell alot
The best thing from Turin was the Kebab! the portion is enormous, the taste also fabulous, the meat was very juicy and I’m lovin every minutes when I ate it * yeah I know it’s Italy, but I only could afford Kebab or bread, I’m a drop dead budget tourist*
Return back to Milan with a regionale train that look totally different with previous train, return back to our first and last air-conditioned hotel *and we only pay 20 eurs for that*
in the next morning we continue our journry to Milan with Duomo and McD as the main attraction * actually what kind of traveler am I?* Duomo is superb, as one of the biggest gothic catholic roman church in Milan, I went to the top of Duomo, with lift offcourse,it only cost 2 eur more than the stairs *yes they did put charge on the stairs*
The view from the top of the duomo is breath taking, and off course it’s an honor for me to be in the same location as the cover of Lonely Planet.
Next hour would be one of the most dramatic moment on my holiday, first we lost rizky and that made us lost one hour from our trip, and next I couldn’t find the god damn san siro souvenir shop that made us went around the super huge san siro stadium, and due to this thing we didn’t manage to catch the train *because we still had to take baggage from the hotel, actually due to my strain ankle i waited in the station, they took all my stuff* and the final result is we went by regionale and i bought extra ticket from Mei *later on Mei will discuss this event with rizky, we she thought I already felt asleep* so here we are on the Italian train go to the most beautiful city in the world venice *or is not so beautiful?*
