On the 13th of Sep13, as that day will be our last day in Milan , as usual we woke up around 7am , had our breakfast in the hotel restaurant and headed towards the Metro station to explore Milan. We will be taking train to Switzerland from Milan train station around 12pm on 14thSept13. As planned, we proceed to the Castello Sforzesco to explore the inside of the castle since it is one of the tourists attraction.
We only need to pay Euro 3 dollar to enter the museum inside the castle. There were quite many things to see especially those antiques of the castle that was many many years ago. There were also many portraits and sculptures. After finished exploring the castle, we took a walk at the park nearby and saw a souvenir shop. We bought some souvenirs there and continued walking in Milan's street. The weather so pretty warm , even though there is bright sun, we were not sweating at all. We discovered there are many self-service bicycles rental spots. People could rent the bicycles by dropping money in the coin slot and returned it at the available spots. Unfortunately we both cannot cycle, therefore we still chose to walk.
Eventually we found ourselves outside the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum .
As we were curious, so we decided to go in to have a look. The tickets were sold at Euro 6.50 dollar each and there was a timing for us to enter the museum as only 30 persons were allowed to enter each time for every 15mins. As it was still early, we went to look for food at nearby restaurants. We came to this restaurant which seems to be much better than the cafe restaurant in Paris. We were seated at the more inner part of the restaurant where toilet could be access easily and it was free without any coin slot. We ordered two pastas and drinks. Later then we realized there is a difference if people only ordered drinks, as there will not be able to sit on the inside of the restaurant or perhaps access the toilet. The pastas were served with plain bread which tasted good and we saw some decorations in the restaurant with Singapore's name on it. The food were not too expensive for this restaurant. After eating we walked back to the museum and we queued in a group of about 20 people to enter. As we entered the museum, it was a big hall room with two large paintings on the wall. No photography was allowed . It was the painting of The Last Supper and The Resurrection of Jesus by Leonardo Da Vinci. There were also names of the various character in the paintings provided. After watching for 15 minutes we were told to leave the hall for the others to enter. On our way to the exit doors, there were a small pictures of the last supper for us to take photo, toilets and also souvenir shop. Both my husband and i were wondering if we have knew that it was only two paintings on the wall, would we buy tickets to enter? The answer is not sure. We continue to walk from the museum and reached a park where we saw many children playing at the play ground . We saw the boys playing football and the girls were climbing trees. Then we saw many people bringing their dogs to enjoy the sunshine in the park with their love ones and family. After awhile we were both tired and we went back to the hotel to rest. The moment we opened our hotel door , we saw some bright sunlight shining . We sat on our bed which is near the window and enjoy the moment together watching the sunset. It was so beautiful . The next day we will be taking train from Milan station to Switzerland and Interlaken was the first place we will be staying for 2 days. We were very excited as we will be visiting the Top of Europe , Jungfragjou and the Mount Titlus in Switzerland which i will be sharing later.
