Day 201 - Planning and shopping

Milan - M's Uncle Pietro's apartment

Apartment block in Milan
Our original plan for the day was to visit either Lake Como or Lake Maggiore north of Milan, but we needed to spend some time on the internet planning travel and accommodation for the rest of our Italy visit. Our next stop was Venice, but because of the Venice Film Festival reasonably priced accommodation was difficult to find, and we also needed to sort out Florence and Rome.

By the time we'd done this the morning had gone, so we headed back into the centre of Milan for lunch and to do some gift shopping. That evening we went out to a local restaurant with Marilu, Stefano and some of Stefano's relatives for more authentic Italian food (but M thinks the home cooked meals were much better!).
