Italy and Germany 2012: Milan and the Last Supper

Woke late this morning after a nice long sleep in a real bed. I had a nightmare about the driving.... I dreamt I went round and round in circles without my lights on, and I was driving on the right side of the road....in 1st gear, and everyone was driving on the wrong side of the road....it was dark and raining and I'd only had about 3 hours sleep in the last 40 hours. I was telling Pam my dream, she told me it really happened.....geez what a day!!! THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!! (Thanks for that comment Pam....your editing privileges have been withdrawn now, forever, forthwith, herewith)
Much better today, breakfast, then in the car to a 'Park and Ride', train into the city and had a look at the Duomo, this is the Cathedral in Milan, huge. When we got there there was a queue about 400 metres long, we were early so we joined the queue and slowly made our way into the Duomo. It wasn't until we got inside that we realized there was a coffin at the altar. We later found out the head Cardinal of Milan had died and was lying 'in state'. All these people praying and upset, teach us to join a queue!! He is having a big funeral tomorrow; media, police, army everywhere - had our bags checked on the way in! Not sure why really as he was already dead! (Pam lit a candle for all family and friends)
We then did a short walking tour to the Milan Castle and went to see Leonardo da Vinci's painting of The Last Supper. Fascinating.
Much more relaxed today. Got our phones sorted out and our internet, so far, seems to work well.

I've attached a couple of photos - the Cathedral, the arch which is the entrance to the shopping centre - all the good shops - Louis Vuitton. Prada, Hermes and McDonalds. We had lunch at a cafe just to the right of the arch. Pam lighting a candle and in front of a replica of The Last Supper (the original is one full wall of a chapel). Pam tried a self portrait.
