This was our second day in Milano. We did the TickItaly walking tour/viewing of the Last Supper. Met the guide at 11:15. Got the earpiece radio and started out with a trip to a church we walked by a few times and never noticed. Santa Maria Presso San Satiro Walked several other churches and got lots of history and back stories on Leonardo and Milan’s politics. Background to the painting of the Last Supper and it’s restoration. Secco painting and how it doesn’t last verses fresco. Was about 2 ½ hours overall. Finished at Last Supper. Took a walk back and stopped a few places including a café/bakery. Decided to go back to Nabucco for dinner again and made reservations. Had another lovely meal. Ravioli combination for me and tagliatelli funghi for Nan. Canoli for desert. Walked back to the hotel via the Dumo and took a few night pictures on our phones.

Buongiorno da Italia
Buongiorno Da Italia – Hello from Italy
Well we made it to Italy. Flew out on Tuesday and landed in Milan on Wednesday. Had a nice flight on British Airways, starting with a stay in the oneworld lounge, and then in business class on their A380 jet. Nice lay flat sleeper seats and lovely service. We landed and were met by a car to take us to Hotel Spadari Duomo in Milan. Fantastic service by the desk staff there and a wonderful room with a balcony and even a terrarium outside the bathroom glass brick wall. Did a quick dinner (pasta, of course) and crashed for the night.
