Tuesday 1st October
To celebrate Tony's birthday in style, we joined the tour bus to see the highlights of this magnificent city. So far we have seen the multiplex cinema (and a Turkish KFC store: KOC).
Leaves are dead or dieing on the trees in the park but the flowers are still in bloom.
Just passed the statue voted the ugliest in the city. No argument there. A tower block based on the Castle Sforcese wins ugliest building among countless contenders.
Passed the Duomo and La Scala (again) and journeyed down Via Manzoni which has the Milanese fashion houses.
Just swapped buses and heading towards Piazzale Cadorna. Location of 'Needle, thread and knot', a sculpture representing the importance of the fashion industry to the city.
Viewed remnants of the canal system that connected to the river. The city's port was the country's 13th most important during its heyday.
Got off the bus around one o'clock and wandered up Via Garibaldi looking for a place to have lunch. Struck gold.
