Bienvenuto Italia! Milan - Part 2

Here's the next installment of some snaps taken in Milan.


This place is called Vittorio Emanuele Galeria. It houses posh and known boutiques.



The dome in the Galeria.





My favorite LV (which I still cannot afford...harharhar!)

Checking out some souvenirs. I left empty-handed because the stuff were costly.
A simple fridge magnet costs 8 Euros.

Bienvenuto Italia! Milan - Part 1

Bienvenuto Milan! Here are some snaps taken during our recent trip to Milan, the fashion capital of the world!

The plaza at Duomo.



The Duomo - the 2nd largest cathedral after the St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican.





See the vast nave and pillars. Simply breath-taking!


Going around Milan by train...

Back Home

We're all back! It takes so much to say this but, "it's good to be home." The trip to Munich, Germany and Milan and Rome in Italy is worth taking and every money spent because we have had a good time.

Munich, Germany is such an amazing place to visit. I love the weather prior to the change of season. It was cool and breezy even at noon but quite cold at night as the temperature dipped to 15 degrees Celsius which for us was already cold (considering the weather here in Dubai, anything below 18 degrees Celsius is considered cold!). We joined the Hop-On Hop-Off city tour bus so we saw much of what Munich has to offer in a day. I'll be posting pictures here later.

Our stay at Milan was just 2 days and had limited time to roam around. We went to the Duomo (Mariae Nascenti church) and the Vitorio Emanuele Galeria which housed the luxurious boutiques. We posed at some of the statues around the area like Leonardo Da Vinci's and Parini's.

Roma...the glorious city of Italia. I love this place a lot. We walked around to reach the various scenic and famous tourist spots of Rome. The weather was hot and humid just like that of Dubai. I had an instant tan!

All in all, the vacation was great and we will surely be back in Europe. We are eyeing Greece before our visa expires this November... or Venice...or Vienna...or Amsterdam. We're still undecided as we will plan this when the long Eid holidays come. Ciao!
