Time to move on from Germany, we've ended up spending much more time there than we had originally planned - but that's the beauty of an open itinerary. Our train trip went via Zurich, and then through the Alps and into Italy. The scenery as we headed through the Alps was beautiful, it would be nice to visit again someday when there's some snow.We were met at Milan Centrale station by M's first cousin Marilu. Luckily she remembered us from her visit to Australia three years ago - after such a long time travelling it was so nice to have someone waiting for us when we arrived.
We caught the metro to her apartment block in the Milan suburbs where she lives with her husband Stefano and their three daughters. We enjoyed a lovely home cooked Italian meal with the family, then retired to M's Uncle Pietro's apartment in the same block. Unfortunately neither of us speak Italian and Pietro doesn't speak English, but we still managed to communicate OK.
