MILAN July 2005

Milan is a great place to visit and you can use it as a base to tour northern Italy. You could even travel by train direct from Milan to Zurich and have a 2 centre holiday. Low cost airline flights direct from Newcastle, mean it can be a very affordable holiday e.g. £200 for a week in good accommodation including flights.

A view from one of the many villages that are on the shore of Lake Como.

A day trip to the Italian lakes was another highlight. A cruise on Lake Como was really good and unlike some of the places we visited, there weren't many crowds of tourists. Definately a place to visit.

One of the highlights of the trip, seeing the rehearsals for the Miss.Italy contest.

Back to historic Milan.

Great costumes, but how they survived in the 35C heat I don't know.

A traditional view of Venice. It's difficult to shoot great photos in the middle of the day when the sun is at it's height and the crowds are large. Next time I'll stay over in Venice and get up early.

Another view of St.Mark's Square.

Me in St.Mark's Square on a day trip to Venice.

One of Mondova's many churches.

Mondova a medieval town, well worth the 1 hour train journey.

Milan's centre & a "cathedral" dedicated to shopping!

Bergamo - The 3 towers

MILAN July 2005

My holiday started here at Bergamo. It was a good idea to stay the first night here and explore this medieval town the following morning.
