Italians sure like to kiss a lot. The first thing I saw upon getting off the train were two couples kissing PASSIONATELY and openly. Over the next few days this opinion only strengthened --these guys Have the reputation of being passionate for a reason.
In Milan I did all the usual things. I visited the Duomo, which was stunning, and Sfortza Castle. Besides that I walks around the city a lot. Its a big city covered in beggars and street peddlers. I actually felt like I was back in India.
By far the highlight of my time in Milan was seeing The Last Supper. Tickets sell out Months in advance but I had mine. We have to sign up for specific time slots and I had the first one of the day at 8:15. 30 of us filed through two different airlock before reaching the painting. It was well worth it. I spent the while 15 minutes staring. Photography was strictly forbidden but I got one point and pray.
After the painting I caught a train to Florence and arrived thete mid-day.
