You’ve got to ALWAYS start the day right,
and on our first day in Milan we did exactly that. After dropping our bags off
at the hotel we wandered around the corner to 10 Corso Como where we ate and
shopped!
The little café’s entrance is through a
greenhouse which is just FULL of greenery! We decided to have a proper meal
(why not?) so were led into the dining room, which was just so gorgeous! There
were lots of ‘O’s – to reflect all the ‘o’s in “10 Corso Como” perhaps? Lots of mirrored surfaces,
mixed textures and chic flower arrangements… and the food!! We popped in for a
light meal, I even considered just ordering a coffee and brioche. But when in
Italy, or Eataly as I affectionately call it. Pasta it was! My sister opted for
the gluten free penne, whilst I went for a tomato and ricotta dish – bellisima!!!
A quick post-lunch rest at the hotel and
then off to the Duomo we went! The weather was beautiful! Despite the chilly
temperatures, the skies were blue and the sun was out – what more could we ask
for? As the first weekend after the new Pope was appointed, the Duomo was
absolutely packed! The entrance fee was waivered and swarms of people flocked
to the Catholic landmark to celebrate the occasion. After a wander through the
Duomo, we decided to get on the Ascencor
to take in the views at the top.
Being on
top of the Duomo we felt even closer to the incredibly detailed
architecture. There’s one thing to view a building, then to go in it. But being
on top of it, interacting with the balustrades and in touching distance of the
spires was incredible. Though parts of the terrace were being restored, we were
still able to admire the incredible monument and the views!
