No more car driving. In 7 days I did more then 1500 kms (very good score on the mountain roads) with the fuel consumption slightly less then 5 l per 100 kms. Well done!
Morning in Milan was hazy. I took the walk to the well- known places. 40 years left since my first visit. Am I so old? City did not changed much. It is still grey and chaotic. Famous cathedral is ornate outside but dark inside. La Scala building never impressed me. And if you want to see famous Vinci’s fresco The last supper you pay 8 euro (tickets were sold for 5 days ahead).
In the afternoon I took intercity train to La Spezia on the Ligurian Coast. It cost only 9 euro for 3-hours journey if you buy in advance via internet. Train was full. La Spezia is just a port with few hunderd meters long, palm fringed see promenade. I came here to see famous Cinque Terre. Bad news: railway people plan to strike tomorrow so there will be no easy access to CT tomorrow. Italia: it is much better to organize strike on Sunday and to stay home with a family than to work 🙂
