MILAN: This was my second time in this city, and I will be honest, I didn't like Milan that much either time I came here. It does have some incredible sights, but put it down to personal taste, it's just not for me. Lucky this was just for one night as a stopover on my way back to France Last time I was here I didn't climb to the top of the cathedral; it's well worth the climb
The view down onto the square in front of the cathedral


A closeup on some of the spires

It would have to be one of the most ornate churches I've seen; statues and ornamentation everywhereLooking up underneath the arch of the entrance to the Galleria, an undercover shopping area with cafès and restaurantsThe Galleria's roof The mosaic floor: SPQR stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus , meaning the Senate and the Roman People, referring to the ancient Roman government.

Almost feels like Melbourne!
