Way back

Trough Milans Central train station, outside view...

... inside view. Also trough two airports, but those places are not so nice to take a picture :P.

Elovena is back home in Finland. :)

Last dance

TILT Spacio, modern dance with Marco de Meo. Beautiful class, artistic touch, good music, I enjoyed big time!

I got troubles to find where this place was. One time I get lost, got back to hostel, googled the address again, went back to stand in a right doorway for waiting that maybe someone dancer-looking-like goes in or comes out. Waiting was more than worth it!

Last day in Milan

I took Herra Hakkarainen out to do sightseeing. Also I will have great opportunity to get my sisters 4-year-old daughter be interested about my travelpictures. :)

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the oldest shopping mall in Italy. Designed and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877. Galleria connects Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Scala.

Teatro alla Scala, Milans world famous opera house. Here has Maestro Fascilla danced. :)

Nights in Italy are cold in February. I'm lucky to have a huge jumper with me which is easy to use as aladdinpants. :)

Milan to me - city views

 Huge Duomo! Worlds 5th biggest church.

SNOW!

It started snowing on Monday in Milan! I was so happy to say goodbye to snow in Finland and I didn't pack my winterjacket with me. 

Views taken from window in Hostel California.

Welcome to Hostel California - Milans cheapest hostel! Kitchen for customers is a big plus, but someone ate my gluteinfree pasta from the fridge!

In evening time here was a smokey atmosphere. I preferred to have a good night sleep. :)
