Como lake, Milan, and back to home

On the 26th of May,

Now we are headed towards our last leg of the run. The last two weeks have been really amazing. Especially coming from Sweden where the temperature was still in the single digit, here we felt really hot and sometimes sweaty also. In fact, we were having some sunburns. Tiredness was much more evident in our photos. But before we wrap our wonderful tour, we still have some places for deserts, Now we are headed for the fashion capital of the world Milan.

We had to pick one of our friends from Milan. We started early in the morning from Noale, Reached Milan before Lunch time, and then decided to go around Lake Come. It’s an amazing lake, Come city itself is so beautiful. We had a few pizzas there before going around the lake. We stopped at so many places on the edge of the lake, any direction you throw your camera and you are bound to get a good pic. There are more than dozens of Hollywood films and TV series sets around this lake.

Had a stomach full of Gilatos and Pizzas on the way. Reached all the way to the top of the lake and then took a diversion towards the Swiss, Went into Switzerland for the last time in this tour. there is another lake in Swiss called Lake Lugano. But this time we didn’t stop near the lake, just saw it from the moving car, it was almost evening and we wanted to come back to Milan for our stay.

About Como city

Como has always been an area of intense activity, as it has been a crossing point between Central Europe and the Mediterranean over the centuries. Built by the Romans at the end of the Piedmont Road, it was an important communication point between Rome and its northern territories. Until the end of the 1980s, Como was famed for its silk. Como was the birthplace of the Roman scientists Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, as well as Alessandro Volta, the 18th-century inventor of the battery and the man who gave his name to the unit of electrical force – the volt. Como sits at the southern end of the western branch of Lake Como, in a small basin surrounded by wooded moraine hills. It borders directly with Switzerland, in particular with the Canton of Ticino, the district of Mendrisio, and the municipality of Chiasso with which it constitutes a unique urban area, and is about 40 km from Milan.

On 27th May

The next day we roamed in the city. Saw some of the most famous places in Milan and did some shopping. This city has very different vibes and comes alive at night. As if a fashion show is happening on the streets. Everyone is so stylish. The city center is full of tourists. Hardly any place to walk.

About Milan

The name of this city comes from Medionalum and that refers to the fact that you can find Milan in the middle of the Po Valley. The city of Milan has more than one million inhabitants, but if you add the inhabitants of the suburbs, there are four million inhabitants. During a Milan city trip, you will find the perfect combination of authentic Italian architecture, modern buildings, and many other Milan attractions. Do you like to visit the historic buildings? Then you need to visit the Milan Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco, or the Arco della Pace. But also other top attractions such as the San Siro stadium, the Teatro alla Scala, and Da Vinci’s painting of ‘The Last Supper’ are sights that you should not miss. If you prefer the modern part of the city, look for commercial properties in the innovative financial district Porta Nuova, where you can also be charmed by the Bosco Verticale. These are two residential towers, where the residents together can enjoy almost 9,000 square meters of terrace, on which almost 1,000 trees have been planted.
