Visiting Milano

It is naaasty weather in Munich. The clouds get stuck on the north side of the mountains, on their way to the south. Well, I bet they are going there, they surely want some sunshine and bask in the sun aso., you know.


So, off we go, to see what we may find behind the mountains and best of all, we will visit my brother bear! He travels a lot and I think he currently lives in Milano, Italy and he get´s to eat excellent pizza every day! (I do sound a bit envious, right?)


Here we are, on the top of San Bernadino. Well not really. We took the San Bernadino tunnel, because the pass was closed, due to too much snow. As you can see, there was quite a lot of snow, at the south end of the tunnel.
We have arrived in Milano and I just could not walk past this ice cream stand and had to have a “Schleck” taste.
This was the hotel I stayed at. (The building at the back, not the tram, stupid.)
The hotel was quite cute, a bit on the old style, with flower wallpaper in the room, cream paint designs and a colourfully painted elevator.

Here I had a great cocktail at the Caffee Miani “Zucca” in the splendid mall Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, beside the Piazza del Duomo.

Ahh, what a view, sitting at the top bar of the big department store "la Rinascente" by the piazza Domo. They have their customers pay for the view though, the prices are as high as the view itself.

“Yehaa”

I had to jump quite a few times to have someone take this picture for me, sorry that it is a bit on the crooked side.

Here my brother and myself are taking a break at an italian restaurant. We are the peak of the Brunate mountain, in the town of Brunate close to Como at the lake Como.


At first, I did try to eat this pasta with human cutlery. You can see the size of it behind me, belonging to the other seat. They made me feel like a medieval knight, on his brave horse at a tournament! I waged my battle bravely, but finally lost and had to use my paws, to eat the rest.These noodles where very tasty, just right!
