Milan - Football and the Last Supper
Ok I am not sure that Football should come before the last supper in the heading...
We left Luzern early and headed to Milan. The driving in Milan was not as bad as we expected. We took the metro to the Duomo which is aboslutley amazing! walked around the inside and then took the elevator to the roof! Yes it is the actual roof! Amazing view of the city and great close of view of the church spires..we headed to Maria Della Grazie to see the last supper..we had pre-purchsed tickets and had a tour in English. You are only allowed to stay in the room for 15 minutes and the guide does a great description of the scene and the messages..
We headed back to the Duomo and found a place for cocktails on a roof top..we had a few cocktails and then some sushi and headed to the square...where we spent the next few hours with thousands of people cheering on Italy in the world cup finale. They had a big screen and Italians do love their football..it was a crazy atmosphere and still very hot - we last until about half time and jumped in a cab back ot the hotel and watched the rest of the game in the hotel lounge..We are thinking maybe we are bad luck..we were in Germany and they lost and now in Italy and they lost...Sorry Germany and Italy...
Ok now we are all caught up..It is Monday morning and we are headed to breakfast an off to Venice for 2 nights. We are looking forward to 2 nights in the same place!
