Milan Duomo

This is the first of a series of posts showing some sights in Italy. I will be concentrating mainly on the sights, while i will leave my other better half to do the foodie pictures. =)

We did manage to visit quite a few places in Italy and took quite a few pictures. There were some places where photography was not allowed so we could have taken more! This is the impressive Duomo in Milan which took ages to build, resulting in a mishmash of architecture from different periods.

Our overall impression of Italy was that it is a beautiful place, with such a rich history and strong culture (and good food!). However, there is something seriously wrong with their society when we (as tourists) have to deal with people who a) do not do their jobs (lazy); b) try not to do their jobs by pushing the buck; c) can't be bothered to do their jobs; d) unhappy with doing their jobs and take it out on you. More on this as we go on.

Merry Christmas!

We're back from our holiday! And just in time for Christmas! We bought some presents for everyone but i'm ashamed to say i forgot to buy something for Jeanie! Doh! To assuade her (and my concience), we bought her lots of treats. =)

Just wanted to wish everyone reading this a very Merry Christmas and (just in case i don't have time to write any further) a Happy New Year!
