We started bright and early in Milan and enjoyed some breakfast at the Duomo watching a small parade for Italian unification (150 years celebration).
Then we visited San Siro museum (which in my opinion is not a must) and took the tour at the stadium. We also made a short visit to A.C. Milan training centre Milanello where we witnessed what it is to be be a world class star and have your every move watched. On the way to Venice we made also a short lunch stop at the beautifull and crowded Lake Garda (More specifically in Sirmione). After that we headed for Venice where we arrived later in the evening. We parked at Plaza del Roma and took the water bus to San Marcos where we first had couple of Bellinis at Harry's bar. Then we quickly checked out the Bridge of Sighs which was under construction and framed with something ugly. Later that night we enjoyed an excellent dinner at Osteria Doge Morosini (San Marco 2958-2967) before heading back to our hotel Citta de Milano for some sleep.
Next morning I got up early and made early morning run at the waterside. After breakfast we had a little walkabout before turning our car towards Slovenia, Kranjska Gora and FIS Ski jumping world cup finals. Venice somehow had a little bit of a same wibe as Zansibar with narrow alleys, rich history and overpriced services. Venice is a treat for history and antiques enthusiasts but for more active sort of a traveller like myself more than two days in a place like this would be too much.
