Our trip to Milano

There's nothing like a daughter to remind you that your blog is not up-to-date AND once you start something you have to continue with it..... Thanks darling Jocelyn for the reminder! SO.... here I am again with some beautiful photos of our trip to Milano last week. We went there to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The train trip from Zurich was magnificent, as was the trip from Milano to Basel.




We were amazed to see snow still on the Alps. What a beautiful sight. But we were glad we were on the train.















Here I am talking to Nadia who sat next to me on the train. Obviously this is a candid shot!! We are both not looking our best (thanks Roger!!). She is a lively Christian young lady of Swiss parents but brought up in Sicily, Italy. Completely gorgeous.
This is the Central Railway Station in Milano. A very impressive looking building. We stayed in a Hotel very close to here, and as we didn't have a lot of luggage, we didn't have a problem walking. Mind you, on the way home, we had a little more luggage (do I really have to go into detail????).
After other Italian cities we have visited, Milan was disappointing. It was noisy, dirty and not pedestrian friendly (we have been spoilt in Germany). Needless to say we were happy to come home to Schopfheim and our little haven.
