Milan was only a transit spot for me from Geneva to Florence. it was to late by the time I figured out that all the museums in the city are closed on Monday, and the only real famous painting to see -the last supper by Michael Angelo- was booked out in advance. To make it worse, my hosts informed me they wouldn't be home till 830, and it was still raining. And the idea of carrying the bag pack the while day didn't appeal to me.
Luckily I had met Sushila and lucci at Vishal's wedding in London. They live in Milan downtown, and had kindly invited me for coffee in the afternoon. I called Sushila and preponed the plan. After coffee she gave me the city guide, An umbrella and marked the places of interests and off I went after dropping my bag pack at her house.
Other than the Duomo, the rest of Milan was bit of a disappointment , specially after what I had seem in this journey so far. Most of the museums were closed anyway. I hung out with Mohit, an MBA student from Paris, and his wife Itisha and just walked around the city. It was the design week in Milan, but I want planning to buy any furniture so we avoided that.
After spending the evening with Lucci and Sushila again, I went to my hosts place- Rick and Ilaria, and had a nice little evening with a typical Italian dinner and post dinner conversations. I was quite exhausted though and feeling more tired by not doing much during the day. I was off to steep soon afterwards. It was time to look forward to Florence and some good weather
