Milan Florence Pisa... Flygirl's new places!

If it ain't the Starhub server screwing up.. it's Blogger's.
I'm getting pretty impatient sitting here waiting to upload the pics batch by batch...
n it gets all the more annoying cos the Blogger server is intermittently not working...

Anyway I decided to go ahead with the blogging although there r some pics which I'm not including...
They will be on Facebook lar..

Milan

Grafitti

Grafitti...

I think they r extremely pretty though...
Speaking of which... we'll never see that happen in Sg...
Talk about trying to develop street culture...

Fooling around in the Metro..

"Excuse me... can u tell us where the Tokidoki concept store is pls??"


Found ya!!!
*smooch* u cutie!!

Happy flygirl..
Was prepared to not walk outta store without buying anything...
Was not easy to find the place!!!

N too many cute colourful stuff to resist..

Happy prints..
Does more to me than any Gucci or LV.
Er... maybe only Dior comparable.. ;p


Found along the way when tokidoki-ing..

The Duomo revisited!!

<3
The boys n pigeons.
WARNING though: dun let anyone put corn or bird feed in yr hands when u r there!!!
The boys got cheated 5 euros

I walked away when I saw one of them obliging..
True enough... he asked for $$ after a pic was taken..
The boys were new but they sure learnt a good lesson!

Nothing is free... anything which is is prob too good to be true eh.

tata... we looking for a cafe to chill with espressos n then head back to room to Zzzzz~

The next morning...

Eurostar to Florence..
Yeah.. my jus woke up face + hair..
Prevalent outstation..
M possibly the sloppiest flygirl cos zzzz time is too precious!! ;D
No like makeup overseas as well. Make up n dress up r for myself in Sg only. ;p

There r no trains direct to Pisa from Milan.
One HAS to get to Pisa via Forence from Milan.

There r hourly trains from Milan to Florence n trains pick up from Florence to Pisa every 15-20 mins.

Travel time:
Milan > Florence = 3+ hours (24 euros)
Florence> Pisa = 1.04 or 1.22 hours depending on which train u take.. (5.40 euros)
Pisa > Milan = 4.50 hours (40 euros)

Total cost : 69.40 euros
Not factoring in the Metro n internal train rides from hotel to main train station in Milan

For the curious.. Milan > Venice train costs only 26-29 euros n is 3+ hours long.

On the Eurostar
Coffee, zzzz, yumy proscuitto sandwiches, girltalk.
forgot to bring DS lite n iPod... grrr

Good thing one can jus look outta the window n stone n never get bored..

we passed Bologna..

n finally..

FLORENCE

Firenze Santa Maria Novel(Nouvel?? can't recall)

So we jus hit the streets..

And picked up on a popular site..
The Duomo in Florence!

PISA
