Our trip is sadly coming to an end…. Both Italy and Greece were amazing…Florence is my new favorite city. Rome is an open air museum, so much history everywhere on every corner. Venice was simply incredible. Athens was way better than I expected. Santorini, one of the best islands I have ever seen. Food was great in both Italy and Greece. We made some great friends along the way and would love to return.
Day 1:
Took off from Dulles Airport using Jet Blue, Arrived in New York and took Emirates flight into Milan. Train from Airport to Milan Central was about 1 hour, lucikly our hotel was a 10mins walk from Train station (though we took a cab 4 Euro there just we couldn’t navigate which direction to go). The train station is large busy and has several exits.
Had Dinner at Mama Rosa. Frank and Lobster Spagetti and I had Spagetti with Spicy Tomato sauce. Then Gelato!
Day 2: Day trip to Venice
Our day in Venice, possibly one of the grandest cities I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. However, you don’t see…

Day 3
Went to the center to find a new plug for my laptop. And stumbled on Duomo. – Grand #Architecture #Cathedral #Church #Milan #Italy Fyi. No #AppleStore in the city… only in the suburbs.I did Apple products in the store Mondadori 🙂
This is the amazing Vittorio Emmanuele Shopping Mall in Milan, it seems Prada has threw up on itself in this city. You cannot go anywhere too far without seeing a Prada store here.
