We went up the Duomo this morning - Linden took the lift to the top and Matthew took the stairs. Great views of the city in all directions. Inside the Duomo the statue of Saint Bartolomeo wearing his skin (he was skinned alive) is gruesome but compelling.
Then we walked through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to La Scala which unfortunately doesn't look as impressive from the outside during the day as it did last night.
Then we headed to Milan's canal district - the Navigli - for lunch. Not really a patch on Venice but interesting and at night time it's apparently quite a buzzy area with lots of restaurants.
After lunch we headed back home to do some packing then picked Lisa and Dave up at the railway station. This meant another chance to drive our car through the narrow entrance to our carpark and apartment.
In the evening we went back to the Duomo piazza for a last supper with Lisa and Dave before heading home to New Zealand on Thursday. Milan certainly looks great at night.
