Days 1,2 and 3

Well, we’ve had a few interesting moments since we left home.  Arrived Singapore on time, great people at hotel, too hot (of course).  Visited Chinatown and bought nothing (no need to as we’re going back on way home).  In the afternoon we visited Sentosa Island which is a mini Disneyland.  Overnight plane to Milan arriving at 8am & Brian’s just told me that in 45 hours we had 4 hours’ sleep, but slept very well last night in a beautiful bed.  Pictures below of Cable Car to Sentosa Island and pink dolphin.

Caught hop on hop off bus yesterday around Milan and visited some interesting places.  It’s nothing at all like Rome – very modern in comparison and everyone seems to have designer dogs !!  One daschund even had a frilly skirt !!!!  The bar at our hotel is amazing.  We were given a voucher for a free drink on our first night and when we went in to the bar there was all this amazing food on the counter and we could help ourselves to that.  Didn’t need dinner afterwards, and the people there in the bar area were all Australian so the barman thought he might change his nationality to fit in.  People all amazing.

Today we booked a trip to Como and Bellagio – Bellagio had to be favourite, it’s an amazing place, and I bought my first gift for someone back home.  People live up in these high hills, goodness only knows how they get there.  Did a 2 hour boat trip and then we caught a ferry back to coach.  Photos below of Duomo Cathedral in central Milan and Swiss Alps taken from boat trip on Lake Como.

 

That's it for now. Off to Zurich tomorrow.
