We left Saas Fee and made a B line for Milan, we heard Paris Hilton was in town and really, what vacation is complete without a Paris Hilton sighting…? actually we wanted to check out the infamous Duomo, cathedral to the stars. Interestingly, I don’t recall much about anything during this part of the trip because at this point I was nearly deaf with some sort of weird altitude sickness. What a surreal feeling walking through the Milano train station, literally bustling with travellers, shoppers, fashionistas, everyone seemingly in a huge hurry – and me completely deaf. It was like walking through a bunch of people in fast forward but on mute. A little too much glam for me… Milano doesn’t strike me as a city friendly to a guy who’s been wearing the same shirt and jeans for the last two weeks. I kind of felt like I should be wearing prada aviators, and be carrying a jewelled designer backpack or something. The Duomo was really cool, rumour has it they can fit 40,000 worshippers inside. We didn’t have a whole lot of time between trains, so we stayed pretty close to the Duomo and the station – good thing, because I hear they require a credit card just to walk past the stores in the shopping district. Next… on to Venezia, look out Casanova!
