This month I was blessed with what is probably the most coveted flight in our network for crew to operate. For 1.5 years I've been bidding , and finally I scored the 4 day Milan. The flight over was heaven - 26 passengers on 42 seats, all other classes were chock-a-block. It is hard work, don't get me wrong, we had 2 services to do in 5.5 hours. But the cool crew and lovely passengers were a perfect start to things. So what do you do with a 4 day Milan layover? Get out of Milan of course! I also bid for Venezia this month, but didn't get the flight, so I had to go during my stay.
The first thing we saw when we left the train station  The St. Maria in Nazaret 
 The perfect day to go on a gondola...  The stunning Basilica at the Piazza St. Marco  Only in Italy are the churches this gorgeous and well-decorated
A very crowded Piazza St Marco
Where Marco Polo used to live, now an old opera house
Our driver, and in the background is the place (I think it's a prison but I'm not entirely sure) where Cassanova was held
So, next post should be Florence and Milan. Blogger decided to be a pain to me today, this post alone taking 5 hours to complete from all the uploading I had to do. Enjoy and take care... Labels: Layovers 4 comments |
You can't go to Venezia and not ride a gondola. From left, Karmela, me, Yasmin, Paul, Abigail (Philipines) and Vanesa
