Milan - Foxtown

Milan – Foxtown shopping outlet

We went to Foxtown to satisfy my shopping craving on day 5. It’s actually in Switzerland which one hour away from Milan. You can google list of shops they have since I can’t remember most of them. Some of them are Gucci, Dior, Salvatore Farragamo( my size not available tsk), Fendi etc etc

Our bus departed from Milan at 12pm and returning at 7pm.

We bought our bus ticket online from agent called Zani Viaggi. They offer lots of other destinations like 3 other shopping outlets around. Serravalle is the only one I could remember. The bus is so comfortable for 3 of us.

The scenery on the way to Foxtown is so beautiful. I never regret taking this trip even I didn’t buy anything there. There’s this Gucci and Fendi bag that I really interested with but I ended up buying nothing. One of other reason for not buying is Umar was asking lots of attention from mummy so mummy have to layan him and ignore mummy’s intention to shop.

Tip is Switzerland is a bit expensive than Milan so we happy to brought pizza from Milan for our lunch.

We took the hop on hop off bus on day 4 of our trip. We should do that earlier but we didn’t because we forgot they exist.

The highlight of the tour is the San Siro Stadium. Umar really enjoy it so did daddy. The ticket about €20 each.

Milan - Bergamo and Prada

We flew by Aerlingus so we never been to Bergamo. If you fly through Ryanair, you will arrive at Bergamo before reaching Milan. We took the train and it took us for about an hour to get there from Milan.

We decided to go to Bergamo as advised by daddy’s friend. As arrive, we spot a kebab shop so lunch first.

Bergamo is actually highlighted of my Milan trip because the scenery was amazing. After lunch we took bus and decided to stop at the last station which is on the top of the mountain then we decided to walk from there. It was a quick but fruitful visit.

It does consider as last day in Milan because we flew early morning to Dublin next day. This mummy felt incomplete for not buying any handbag from the trip. I was thinking for a Celine bag since been aiming it for a while but for some reason we only find Celine after purchase completed in Prada.

There we go happy mummy with a Red Rosso Prada. It looks a bit like Celine. It’s actually a gift for me for giving birth to beloved Umar.   

Then when we come back to Dublin we found out the reason Umar was so clingy and mummy so cranky during the trip is because we expecting a baby girl!!! Ops sorry daddy for being cranky.

 

We had a very nice dinner that night because the reception guy recommend it. Funny was it’s a Chinese restaurant who cook Italian. They taste 1000 times better that the rest of Italian food we had while we in Milan. It was a bit unfortunate not finding the restaurant bit earlier. Not that we starving because daddy cook dinner most of the time. I feels a bit disappoint with the food with my Italy trip this time because when I was in Rome and Florence and Pisa the pasta and pizza was heaven.

Milan – Last day

Our flight to Dublin was really early in the morning. We decided to take cab to the airport. It’s actually not a bad idea because it’s not too far from our Apartment. It cost us €20. I remember Umar enjoyed the trip so much and keep asking why the taxi stops every time at red light. Umar didn’t get travel by car much. So probably the reason he has comments on everything.

Milan Day 1 and 2

Travel Date : 21 March 2014(Fri) to 27 March 2014(Th)

Weather : Cold winter 1 to 14 celcius

Accommodation's

Duplex apartment. Thanks to Umar for not playing with the stairs too much.

He enjoyed the cartoon tv even they in Italian.

Flight was early morning again. We got to Milan at 11 in the morning.

The metro again not friendly with the buggy. First day was horrible because we have luggage and buggy to go through with the stairs in metro stations.

 

We probably only went for groceries shopping on day 1 since we still tired traveling from Dublin to Airport to accommodations with all bags and buggy.

 

Groceries shopping was great. We just want to buy everything because they all look nice. The bread, fruit, dessert,water,eggs, juices ,icecream, etc, etc.

 

Daddy was cooking dinner for our first night here.

 

I made breakfast on the next day before we exploring Milan.

 

Duomo is a magical place. It’s beautiful and I am sure the scenery from the top of the building is beautiful but no way we getting there with buggy.
