Day 97 - Road to Milano

Last day in Roma. We went to Roma Termini train station early to catch our train to Milano., our last stop. Technically, it's my last stop, but Shiyang is coming over to London with me.
Shiyang was posting postcard to someone (erhm erhm) while I was looking around for a Roman specialty - supplì

Selling pizza by the weight. Just tell the person at the counter how much to cut, and he'll weigh it and charge it accordingly.

Supplì - Rissotto stuffed with cheese and fried. It's good, only for €1!

The huge Roma Termini train station. 29 platforms!

The train to Milano was extremely crowded. The corridors are filled, some passengers put their luggage and sat in the Gents. Shiyang and I decided to sit on the floor of the restaurant carriage. As the Gents is occupied by luggage passengers, we have to use the Ladies for the 6 hours ride. A China couple boarded at Firenze asking us whether they need to change train to get to Milano. We said no, but at every train station, the guy keep asking. Hello, no need to change means no need to change! Whenever we stood up to stretch, he would peer over from the other end of the carriage. We were so tempted to fake alighting somewhere to get rid of him.

Milano. After near 7 hours.

The old school cage elevator to our hostel.

Bet you never saw bread being packed like this huh? Actually it's two rows which is packed sideways like this. One row was eaten for dinner.

This fed us for most of our trip.

The Milano Duomo - one of the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world. Made totally of white marbles, took 500 years to build.

Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery- atas shopping place.

Our last gelato. Cheap and good - you can't find that in Singapore with either the same quality and/or the same price.
