We arrived in the leather capital around the middle of the day and after dropping our bags, we headed for the Doumo centre. The basilica and surrounding shopping areas were a sight to behold but repetitive and most shops are out of middle class peoples price range by a margin. After strolling around aimlessly we set our sights on a well known aperitif. We strolled through the large castle at the end of the shopping strip and through one of the cities impressive parks.
We arrived at a hip Melbourne looking suburb and sat down for handy cocktails and buffet. The next day we explored more of the expensive shopping displays, with little to no people exploring their shelves. Later we found our way to the normal budget streets and the famous Peck food palace. Later I found an English pub just at the right time as Rhi eyed down a couple of affordable retail palaces. After a frothy and bit of footy we met up with Fran (a local lass that visited Perth for studies last year) and she took us to the Milan soccer stadium and basilica which holds 'the last supper' painting. After that she cooked us up some first grade pasta and got very excited about her next trip back to Oz later this year. The next morning we caught a bus out to Milan airport and picked up our black Volkswagen Golf and headed north.
