Milan

| Duomo |
The main sights in the city are the Duomo, a huge gothic Cathedral, and the old castle which is now home to multiple museums. Also in Milan we found the expensive desiner shops, but dared only to window shop. Using Milan as a base we took two day trips.

The first to Verona to see the Balcony of Juliet, and the gladitorial arena. Verona is the epitomy of Italian towns, lots of classic buildings and even more restuarants and ice cream parlours. In Verona we where asked if we were from Newcastle, by an English woman.

The second trip was to Venice. I was surprisingly disapointed by Venice, don't get me wrong its an impressive city and im glad I can say I have been, however it felt like disney land. Lots of tacky shops, bad souvenirs, and extortionate prices. Plus you where really hard pressed to hear an italian accent, instead it was all sorts of brummy! The canals and gondelas, combined with some amazing architecture made for great viewing when we managed to lose ourselves in the maze of streets and we where away from the madding crowd!
