Cathedral (Duomo) Milan

I went to Milan with my girlfriend for a romantic weekend. We stayed at Hotel Star because the location was perfect for my sweet plan. It was just 5 minutes walk from Piazza Duomo were we sip a drink with view over the square and it was amazing! I organized also a special evening: we go to La Scala Theatre and see an Opera. My girlfriend was …

Seeing as we were only in Milan for 16 hours it was pretty uneventful, all there was to really report on was some amazing ricotta pizza that we had for dinner when we arrived.

The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then went to see the La Scala Museum and the Duomo before catching our train at 1pm …

Después de dormir como morsas porque Venecia nos dejó de cama, salimos tipo 12 para Milán con la viandita que nos armó la tana, Rafi una genia!!! Todo el viaje de Verona a Milán hablamos con un Indio que era Hindú y se iba a visitar a su familia porque vivía ahora en Verona. Hablamos de los dioses para ellos y del Islam en India y nos dio algunos …

6am. My favorite time. The sun is beginning to force it's way into the sky and I hear nothing but the seagulls and the creaking of my ceiling fan. I rested in my lumpy bed as I fell asleep to the sounds of your children killing the Nutella with ungodly delight. I do not want to even look at what horrors that room now holds. I will simply await to …

So, after a 3+ hour train ride yesterday, we arrived in Milan. We even took an extra train which saved us about 5 blocks of walking but cost us about 40 minutes in terms of waiting and riding said train. It would have been faster to walk. Oh well, the things you discover once you acquire a decent map.

Nora has been excellent travelling on …

Life's tough when you have to wake up in a mansion, to look out the window on a blanket of white snow and know that downstairs, somewhere, someone is cooking breakfast for you. Shocking, but someone's got to do it and I volunteered :)



Today, after dragging ourselves away from our mountain palace, we traveled into Milano. …

Where do I start from here?

My life has been... more than just an adventure. Now, my definition of adventure may differ from most people. To me, adventure is like climbing a mountain. The goal is to reach the summit; the top of the world. But, it's an ugly process to get there. It's blood, sweat, and tears. Full of hard work that exceeds …

When I arrived in Milan, I had no idea what to expect. I kept seeing fashion runways in my head. Turns out, there's more to the city than fashion.


I only stayed in Milan one night, with plans to take the train to Venice first thing the next day. I was really excited to see Venice!

My hotel told me to take the metro to the …
