So, to start off this Italia adventure, we decided to go to the fashion capital first - Milan.
First meal in Milan - Gnocchi in a buttery sauce & Roast chicken with a salad and potatoes
The church we were supposed to visit but it was closed on the two days we were there... Typical. |
We trespassed into a random university - Vniversita Gattolica Sacro Cvore |
Castello Sforzesco |
We saw this random tree and decided to climb it haha, it doesn't look that difficult but it really was 8)
A random arch that we saw in the park |
Our dinner :) - and yes.. The tiramisu was the main part of our meal hehe
At the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro Stadium) for the Inter Milan soccer game!! |
This was my first ever soccer game, and although I don't like soccer... I actually quite enjoyed myself!! Just the spirit and crazy screaming and cheering got me into it. Every time someone from Inter Milan scored, everyone would chant the player's name. I had NO idea what their names were so I would just yell random words that sound like what they were saying haaha it was fun though.
However, I must add that it was POURING outside and the center of the stadium was open, so it was freezing cold as well. I was literally shivering the entire 2 hours! But it was definitely worth it :)
Hands down my favorite chocolate gelato store!! |
And this is when my gelato adventures in Italia started...
First three flavors: Mariegato Nutella, Caffe Bourbon, Choccolato Modicano with a chocolate drizzle on top, and a chocolate dipped waffle cookie (SO NOMS)
