Well, I didn't really think about it ahead of time, but I've got one day in Milan, and it is a Monday. In Italia, generally, museums are shut on Mondays. Apparently there's some quite interesting places to go here - like a science museum with modern recreations of Da Vinci machines. Ok, so things I might find interesting, perhaps not other people.
The Cathedral is open, though. So I went in there, then paid to go up the top - that's kind of a standard theme in these Italian cities - go into the Cathedral (Duomo) and then pay to go up either the top of the dome or the bell tower (campanile). The Cathedral in Milan is an oddity because it doesn't have a belltower. Took a bunch of photos (a lot, seriously), though they, of course, would look much nicer on a better camera.
The good news: FREE INTERNET!!! I found a City-run place that has free internet for the purposes of e-mailing,job searching, education, etc. So ... I could spend my time here instead, but that would be kind of silly. Especially when it's so sunny outside.
Oh, in addition to having my one day in Milan on the closed-day, I'm also going to be travelling right before the game tonight starts (Italy Vs Netherlands). I might just be able to get to the hotel, check-in and find a bar in time, but it will be close.
