Milano

Hey!!!

First off.....This hotel(Holiday Inn) rocks, they have internet!! We had quite an eventful morning. As we were leaving our hotel in La Spezia a hotel worker was directing our bus driver(Pino)back out of the parking area and the bus driver hit a pole and shattered the front window. This window is huge and probably very expensive to replace. So we drove back in and waited until they taped the window with a little bit of everything...duct tape, masking tape, and some white wallpaper type material. Anyhow, after that whole ordeal it was off to Milano.

We got here in the afternon, and had to meet up to leave at 6pm. If you want to shop for the good stuff come here....Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Armani, Dolce & Gabana, Louis Viutton...they have it all, and thats about it here as well. We just got back from dinner, and it was the worst one yet. First course was pretty good noodles with red sauce then came the main dish....pork, french fries, and a side salad. No one ate the pork....it was so dry and bland...good thing I had a big lunch. Well its off to Venice tomorrow via Lake Grata on another cruise....There has been a few so far.

I do have to say the weather has been PERFECT!!!! It hasnt rained except one night in Rome. Every place we have visited has been absolutely magnificent. The weather report does say that rain is expected in Venice. Well see.

I hear our bus drive Pino....he does a little magic on the side so I think he may show us a few tricks. So off to hang with the group I go.

Ciao!
