I really didn't have any alcohol since vodka night on this day, only coffee which probably made me feel worse while i try to recover as I felt like anything but calm and relaxed. I'm not a doctor nor a scientist nor Dr. Phil, but I don't think mixing vodka redbull and quite a strong coffee is good …

A travel is not a travel if you haven't troubles! Cant print Boarding pass at webcheckin :( Plane leaves at 17.30 so I leave fair at 14.30 or something like this. At the direct bus from Fair to Linate... Roads are collapsed, better go by subway and Bus! :(  I spend like 20 minutes to fi…

Okay, okay, one whole day in the city of the fashionistas.  Edwina my Australian pal shoomed outta town on an early-doors train to Munich this morning her hands out at the ready to grab her first yard of ale at the Oktober Fest so I’m back to bein’ a lonesome traveller today although …

The second day i could sleep till 10! Wow! That was great! I was sleeping that well, that i didn't notice when papa Ettore was leaving for work. Well - this was my second and last day in Milano. We didn't go to the city but stayed in Bollate (suburb town) - went to the center for coffe and shopping…

There are certain seminal moments in life.  Moments of such importance, they become personal milestones.  Moments that change perspectives and lead to a higher understanding of ourselves and our place in this universe.  Enlightenment. Sometimes travel is about those moments. But no…

After yet another continental breakfast, which considering the price made me wish I was back at Garni Dolimitenblick!  It was sufficient though, the size of the ‘breakfasting room’ did seem totally inadequate for a hotel with quite a large number of rooms though.  The hotel also o…

I get to travel here with my 4 batchmates.. And what makes the trip real fun is  I met 3 Asians who are all set to explore one of the biggest fashion capitals of the world. So here we are - 3 Filipinos, 2 Malaysians, 2 Thais and 1 Indian ready to set foot on Milano's soil.Our first stop is to …

It was 5am when we woke up. So good, I wasn't the only crazy one getting up so early, hahahaMy roommate and I left the hostel even before breakfast. We had to be at the station at 6am! Ok, first problem, Metro starts to work up to 6. Fortunately I notice it yesterday and figured it out how to get t…

(cont'd..) As soon as we're done, we headed inside this open-ended elegant glass-roofed building called Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle that is adjacent to the plaza. As it was getting dark, we had the best time looking up to wonder at its centre crest now …

September 12- (overnight flight) First our flights that almost did not happen. My friend was coming from Nebraska to meet me in Chicago we then would travel together to London for our connection flight then on to Milan. Well her flight was delayed 2 hours, than 4 hours, than went back to 2 hours. …

Arrived at Bergamo Airport just after 11am local time. Thanks to some advice from Danikbates, I'd already decided just to get the bus into Milan and had bought my ticket for it on board the plane. Buses sit just outside the arrival area and one was sitting waiting to connect with the flig…

We arrived at Bergamo airport at 9.20 in the morning, then went to get some breakfast and dropped our stuff at the hotel. We stayed in the 4 star Windsor hotel, which was really nice. It was 37 degrees so we went to the cestello sforzesco fountain next to the fort, chilled in there :) The next day …

I was few days in Milan with my greates friends. Beautiful city, and few days is to short time to know it well. I will be back there for sure :)

i have been driving from Milan to Bolzano for almost 3 hours, reaching Alpe di Siusu after other 40 minutes. You need a special permit to go into the Alpi di Siusi Park, one of the better spot in all europe for walking. No cars, several perfectly marked tracks, allows you to spend days of wonder…

Got on a train today at 11am in Venice and didn't get to my final destination (Nice, France) until 9pm. I had finished my book, so for the 10 hours I was left alone with just my thoughts and some music once in a while. The train ride to Milan was nice with the Alps to the North, but this Italian ma…
