Holiday Inn Milan-Linate Airport Peschiera Borromeo

So we checked out of our room, payed the bill and bought train tickets to Milan. The train from Zermatt to Visp was very nice and we enjoyed the view of the many ice falls and small villages speckling the hillside.

When we arrived in Visp, we met a girl from Nevada and had an interesting chat. Our train came but without warning, it sudden...

I never quite envisioned that I'd visit Milan of all places; I have no interest in posh cities, particularly ones that promote a lifestyle I don’t quite fancy: fashion.

Upon entering, we first visited the castle Sforza meaning "of strong efforts", named after the ruling family of the era. One can deduce, from the pictures and also ...

Now, I must admit, I'm pretty good when it comes to French history and geography...but when it comes to Italia, my knowledge pretty much sticks to stereotypes...

When planning this trip, mi amore mentioned how close Milano was to Lake Como. I guess somewhere in my trash magazines I had read that George Clooney has a house in Como...
Como, Lombardy, Italy erinkoval

So I got up at 6:00 am and went to termini to get my train. The train left at 7:00 with no problems. I took the fast train with only 2 stops, Florence and Bologna and I had a nice window seat. I was surprised to see so much snow in both cities. Meanwhile, I arrived in Milan and took a cab to my hotel. The central station in Milan is very large a...

After spending the weekend in Paris after our flight was cancelled, I was starting to get antsy…I like living in Paris, but sometimes you just need to get out!

Flights were still being cancelled left and right, but not as copiously of that of Friday. We were in luck that our flight had only been delayed upon arriving at the airport...

Leaving Austria was a little sad as it was too short a stay; alas we have soooo many other places to go. Some of us are feeling a little travel weary and the luxuries of Austrian hospitality (like the water cooker!)will be sorely missed. Buck up and move on is the new motto so move on we did. The journey was long but oh so beautiful; Dave got to...

We woke the next morning to a whole new day, a whole new country, and a whole new breakfast. The best part was the nice Italian man making cappuccinos to order with the buffet breakfast. Of course coming from the wonderful American style breakfasts at our last few hotels, the spread was no where near as impressive, BUT one must remember we are n...

I loved Dahab. Look back a few posts and you'll see the fun I had in that tiny strip of hippy tourist heaven. Two days ago three terrorist bombs turned it into hell. I had friends who were there, they screamed "Get down" as they heard one explosion after the other, one in a place they had shopped at an hour before. Another friend of mine was at ...

I spent all of 13 hours in Milan, Italy on my way to Senegal. I was a bit woozy still from the sleeping pill I popped as my Alitalia flight went wheels up from Cairo International.

I wasn't going to be ambitious, just curious. Wander around Milan a little bit, savoring the fact that I had packed less then I usually would for a sleepover. ...

Jan 23-24 I had Italian and Contemporary Italian Society both this morning and yesterday morning, nothing too exciting. After school yesterday, I went food shopping with Anna, and picked up artichokes, for tonight. I boiled them yesterday, hopefully they will just fall apart when we eat them. Today after class, Anna, Rick (one of the guys in the...
