After a train ride from Venice we arrive in Milan. Got a nice hotel which I would definitely come back again to. And Milan was HOT! Omg, the heat is overwhelming! Literally drop our bags and freshen up, and went straight to San Siro Stadium, home of AC Milan and Inter Milan. Milan is not for the history crazy and culture vulture. Its an industrial city with a flair for fashion, and thats about it. If your gold is to shop then Milan would be lovely, but I was into history and culture so it wasn't up my alley.
Day 3: Eating in posh place and found the best gelato in Italy so far.
After walking around the Il Duomo, La Scala and the surrounding, had an early dinner in the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle. Tried the fried seafood and the rissoto. I'm not crazy about the porcini rissoto. I've tasted better in my lifetime and it was in Kota Kinabalu, back home in Malaysia. But the place was nice and everyone is happy to finally sit under the shades. Afterwards, walky-walky again. Came across Grom, a gourmet gelato shop! Quite near Duomo, but walk up a bit (you can google it). I bought nocciola again and dark chocolate. OMG! I have just found a piece of heaven on earth in the form of dark chocolate gelato! This shop alone is worth the trip to Milan for. Its organic and it uses fair trade product. Then a friend bought pistachio. Definitely the best of all pistachio gelato I've tried in all of gelato session I had in Italy! So after the tiring walk, head back to hotel and get ready for Florence the next day.
