We took an afternoon train out of Munich rather than the overnight train so that we could see the beautiful ride through the Alps.
The 2nd class train wasn't very comfortable when the entire cabin was filled with people but was certainly tolerable and as the seven hour journey reached the halfway point, it started to thin out.
Once we crossed the Italian border, vineyards and orchards began to fill the landscape in all directions.
One place that Shauna has always wanted to go is the global fashion capital, Milan, so we scheduled a few nights here. The most notable historical site is the Duomo which centers the city and is shown below.

OK, enough historical sites....let's go shopping! Shauna is pictured below across from the Duomo in a beautiful old shopping center.

Also nearby the Duomo was a pedestrian street filled with shopping stacked on both sides of the street.
The higher end boutiques were located on quieter streets.
Milan Fashion Week ended a few days prior to our arrival and we didn't see any great styles which are coming out.
Shauna pictured below back at the Duomo with the haul from the day. Ryan considered her to be quite responsible considering the amount of goods on display.
Random street scene in downtown Milan.
Gelato break before heading back to the hotel.

The ice creams look delicious. Li Li will be crazy in Milan. In fact, Li Li has made arrangement for a trip to the Italian alps including Milan, Lake Cuomo & Lake Garda next September. Stay safe.
Yippee! Shauna makes her way to the Fashion Capital, Milan. She must have been in Heaven shopping and enjoying all that Milan must offer. I love gelato. Enjoy the rest of your time in Milan and elsewhere in Europe.
I like gelato! Shauna looks so happy shopping! Milan is the fashion capital of the world, now I see why!
