Wednesday: The Big City. Yesterday, we bought breakfast things at a supermarket. So, we ate bread, jam, and bananas after getting up. Then, we went right to Central Station to get a 24-hour Metro pass. The main cathedral and famous covered market were just a few stops down the Yellow Line. We paid the 5 Euros rather than 7 to be able to walk up on the church which has hundreds of statues with dozens on each spire. Somehow, without the effort of climbing two-hundred-something twisting stairs, the experience wouldn't have been earned.
Milan seems like a very big city. It has a big city feel but few things for tourists. Later in the day, we used our Metro tickets to board trolleys and busses. From the windows most of the streets looked frighteningly similar. The only standard conception we brought along might have been true. The people here did look more stylishly dressed.
In the late afternoon we made use of Uno Club card by spending time at the Royal Hamam.
We'll head off towards the west coast tomorrow. Most probably we'll go all the way to La Spezia for a subsequent day seeing the cities of the Cinque Terre.
