11 pour carriage see Italy

Today is the longest train a day: from Venice to Milan Eurostar trains from West to East to go three and a half hours, you can also visit the most entertaining tour of the train.

Just get on the train, aisle seat opposite to the three United States old too.

Their choice installed himself, took out a paper notebook start exception seriously write travel diaries. They ask each other, "we go after the XX is called again?" or "we are the first XX or YY?" this scenario reminds me when to go to Barcelona United States teacher assigned homework is to write a journal, students are to write on paper-based journal, also bought postcards cut paste, but I just after leaving the United States in computer writing printed with A4 paper, results have a "B-". The original United States people have thought of a journal complex!, I held the camera here posing shoot scenery make the three United States old too shoot down, obviously out of the window and there is no decent landscape, one of the old guard watching me also were shot down.

Car quick-opening times and a family of Italy 3, parents, and that seems to have a 14-year-old daughter was one sentence would not have said.

When I look at the map, mouth mumbling the next station of the station name, then dad swears we ask, "Milano"? we nodded, he pointed to the West on a map of Milan told a place name, but also pointed to their own, I guess they are going to that city tour. I bent to not understand Italian, this Exchange and expansion of the number. See the old man with his seemingly facts about the States, I am your books to China that page, and pointed to us, an old man may be excited, immediately to his wife and daughter with Italian said nothing, and then do one of the planes take off and drop gesture should be asked, do we fly, we nodded. Somehow, the old man made a strange expression.

But obviously we exchange it ends here, soon I was scenery attract past.

Not far away from the low mountain range on stacked height than mountain also thick clouds, as if thousands of soldiers sailed roll cloud to Foothill farms and homes-! I have never seen this kind of scene, thought it was blurred.

Before long, so there is no clouds, mountains gradually grow high and on top of the hill there was snow white snow, occasionally also appear one or two Watt blue lakes.

This will not be Alps! I quickly read the map, so we are really in the road along the Alps, while Hill is Switzerland really small European countries! Ah, it's all too easy to go abroad!

Day 11: the art of Milan-final baptism

Milan is our last Italy city.

Seeing so many different styles of artwork, I'd like to Milan should no longer have any artistic surprises? what Milan is a modern fashionable city. But when I saw the Milan Cathedral, or slightly shocked. The world's fourth largest church of positive addition to the white marble walls and marble statue was covered with bronze door emboss, high in the sky one straight shrugged. At that time it was noon, marble in the sunshine is very bright. That kind of Visual effects and Rome and Florence Cathedral utterly different. The book describes that Milan Cathedral there are a total of 135 spires and 3200 statue! the band called the Tower of the Gothic style.

We walked around the Church, half-circle sees the Church on the side of the marble walls it is dark, dirty, also on a scaffold.

Estimated positive just cleaning of the Church, so that White was so dazzling. According to Italy, and so on three sides are washed, the estimated positive it dirty?

Ambitious as Milan Cathedral, our vision has been a spontaneous look like next to the triumphal arch of the building.

Walk in the door, head iron frames and glass of the dome, is one of great décor of the palace-style two-storey building, the building is a wide variety of restaurants and shops, we like to enter the legendary shopping paradise, not afraid of the Sun and rain, but also can enjoy side window shopping for art! go far, came to a crossroads, the four corners of the shop are: LV, PRADA, silver shop BERNASCONI ARGENTERIA DAL 1872 and ... ... ... McDonald 's! so beautiful, the luxury collection of local, McDonald's has the ability to get in! but I believe that McDonald's is doing a compromise. In and around the architectural style, McDonald's signs and PRADA LV, as is the Black regiment, instead of its global usage of yellow.

Open travel books and found this place called Emmanuel II Gallery (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II), the famous shopping areas of Milan.

We always walked through beauty handsome amount far exceeds any previous pass Italy city! but looking around, in addition to McDonald 's, we ate up the ice cream. However, such a shopping paradise in about Vivian heart put down the last straw: Vivian subsequently in the nearby Golden Square big getaway really started on my previously mentioned crazy shopping.

12 days of Milan, Como Lake

Milan-Como Lake (Lago Di Como) is the only pure natural visit tourist attraction.

In fact, Milan nearby there are several lakes, such as macho column Lake (Lago Maggiore) are also very famous. Selected Como Lake because a friend, said the Star Wars Episode "film in the viewfinder.>

From Milan Central railway station to Como need to sit for half an hour by car.

By the way, there are eight railway station of Milan, but each station are not large. Italy railway station are not large, and there is no waiting room! Milan Central train station facade of the size and style of comparable a white marble Church, but one is through the Hall is the vertical arrangement of nearly 20 root tracks, made me feel like reviewing train units. Eurostar trains must be on the bus ticket, after Italy national railways sometimes after boarding ticket, sometimes simply do not check.

Como Lake is a solid herringbone Lake.

The train will be open to the left of the "people", from the point of this change by bus to a charge-a picture of a meeting point, which is the most beautiful Bella angle (Bellagio) scenic takes an hour. So instead of saying this is a Lake, I think it is better to call the River.

From the railway station, walk for about 10 minutes and came to the Lake.

Lake swans, ducks and rowing, boat together harmoniously tour Koh, the appearance of the Lake University students are in a relationship, some in the guitar and leisurely. We all see King missed ships to Bella angle, simply visit by car.

Car along the left side of the "people" in the left bottom-up, the way you right and left.

Probably because the hungry, fast to Bellagio's I started motion sickness. And so he came to get me to rest a minute to start slowly too God, is gradually see immediate beauty.

We in the "people" of the intersection is crystal clear, but is beyond the Lake, not far from the Lake opposite and behind is built on a hill in the woods of small buildings and villas.

And on the right opposite with glints of mountain undoubtedly is the Alps. We in the Lake a shade restaurant sat down with my car. In the spirit of the day only dinner meals, I just point a ketchup Italy face, but couldn't help or point a ice cream. In May the warm spring breeze, while eating the fragrant Italy face, looking at a pair of wild ducks and his wife in the clear lake swimming, I felt sick soon.

After lunch, take photos, Vivian shopping I and then let's sit cruise back to Como town.

Cruise all the way to be in several places to stay, because of time constraints, I chose a photo of the Star Wars Episode "Lenno Villa. Probably hasn't arrived 7 August high season, Lenno do not see a few people. Bathed in the sunlight of the Villa is a purple flower stood quietly waiting for their owners. If you have time and money, in such a place three two-day, nothing needs to be thought, this is how paradise!

Lenno Terminal tree looks very strange to have the chance to study at the what's this tree.

A close look at Lenno Lake, there are a lot like SNAKEHEAD fish head in one direction around each interval a foot in the water quietly stay motionless, very strange. Because water refraction, I do not like fish in the water, it's a shame.

Back to Como town we also looked at the como's Church.

The Church is very new and very pretty. Masterpieces of the Saint Elegy and the last supper "also brought to the the Church of glass art. Italy is every pore is art soaked!

13 days of the last day in Milan

Boss on the phone over to my PPT, so the previous night at work do not have the time to study in Milan, Vivian is responsible for deciding where to go today.

Vivian lead me in the morning arrived at the Castello Sforzesco Castle.

Although appearance is a castle, but there is a sizeable museums not only furniture, sculpture, painting, music, and specifically for the children's Museum. Musical instruments Museum for some of the earliest triple guitar aroused my interest. So many strings, one hand how pressed over?

Sculpture Museum's grand finale was Michelangelo 80 years old Hospice last before painting and unfinished works-Takashi donini San floats (Pieta Rondanini).

The painting is placed in the last part of the exhibition, from sculpture metres far away on a bench, designed for visitors slowly. At first I thought people famous big is not the same, unfinished works would also be affected by such preferential treatment. Later checked the information, even if it is not yet complete, this work at an angle is Virgin hold the body of Jesus, change the angle might feel that Jesus carried the Virgin, to symbolize the spirit of Jesus holds the Virgin. It is a nifty idea!

The dinner time, already two days without eating rice's I stand back to the hotel, on the opposite of Chinese restaurant to eat a buffet of 12 euro.

Want to know the previous away end my NikonD80 hungry hands tremble, shoot straight out clear photos! rice stuffed, we then set out to Emmanuel II Gallery (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II), in McDonald's to Coke, enjoy and go handsome beauty to sent last time.

Although back to Shanghai aircraft are at 10: 20 o'clock, however we are off to the airport early for refunds.

Licensed boarding pass, encountered a China tours. They are twelve days gone eight countries, every evening, each attraction can only stay for half an hour. Lafayette shopping in Paris are with trots. They experience more determined my future determination of the free line.

PostScript

Fingers to come back from Italy has three months now, has finally finished his travels, feel the marathon to the end.

Panting, think of a few piles of interesting I plugged in, it writes a PostScript.

We from Rome immigration, customs inspector turned my passport, immediately very passionately in Chinese saying, "Hi," I just want to respond to, suddenly heard him saying: "Aunty!" at least I think I don't look so old? popes, go back to look at the back of the Vivian.

Or Vivian quick response, she told to, "he said, is ' Rome '! ' Rome I '!"Ashamed, hurriedly in English on the officers said that I don't recall. Poor the official obviously was a blow, I didn't say anything more. Well, they finally have the enthusiasm to learn we so difficult to learn Chinese, I am also a blow to someone!

Before I only know a Italy, is pizza (Pizza).

What to know Italy man "square (Piazza)" and "Palace (Palazzo)," and pizza spelling almost. I don't know, each time you check the map of strange why Italy Montreal are selling pizza?!

Italy's pace of life is slow, the lift did not close the door key.

In Milan the hotel as there is only one very small elevator, we take the luggage floor, lift up from the basement, contained a Japan old too. Obviously I and Vivian joint baggage is to not to go. We made a gesture that she can go, but the elevator or not tight slowly, without door keys, we are so closely on the stand. Japan old too can only continue to bow to apologize, he sent this awkward moment until the lift is finally self-closing.

Italy is gorgeous.

I will be back again!
