Day 28: Milan, Italy

We had a day off today to explore Milano in the terrential rain! We managed to find an internet shop, a map shop and the all important postcard for our collection. We walked most of the way to the city centre until the heavens opened and we dived into the nearest cafe for a drink break hoping that it would be a passing shower. Unfortunately, it just rained harder so we ran to the metro and took the underground to the church which housed the famous last supper painting by leonardo d vinci however there was a two week waiting list... very disappointing! We had a good look around a huge decathlon store and bought some vests and a bell with a compass which is very handy. We went to the main tourist square to view an amazing church and again take a break from the rain. We were forced to take the metro back to the hotel for a siesta and spent the afternoon cleaning the car and bikes to avoid rusty chains and went through all our gear and gave various unused items to parents to return home. We went to dinner which was not the best service as the pizzas arrived approx half hour after the pastas! Another delicious jack frost ice cream for afters and back to the hotel for beers and cribbage.
