Wowzers! What a crazy day! We left beautiful Bellano and drove the short one and a half hours to the Milan airport to drop off our car. However, we needed to return the car full or pay €175 to Hertz to fill the tank. One problem, it’s Sunday and all service stations we saw are self service payment on Sunday 😳 wow! We finally figured that out with the help of a very nice Italian man who spoke no English. Nice people are everywhere!
Ok, drop off the luggage at the hotel by the airport, drop off the car at Hertz at the airport and grab the regional train to Milano Centrale train station. The train station in Milan is a work of art itself!
Now onto the subway to the Duomo stop, the center of Milan. Uh-oh it’s raining harder.
Great sights, it’s just pouring down rain!
We take a quick street car ride, man it’s pouring!
Quick next few stops!
Ok, back on the subway, then the regional train to the airport and a shuttle to our hotel😓
Quite a day. We asked the front desk person how early we should get to the airport for our 11:00 AM flight to Istanbul, she says at least three hours early 😳
Say a prayer for us
Ciao ciao

Earthquakes, seem to be the topic of the day which actually sounds safer than war!!! Prayers go with you!!!! xoxo (I am sorry…you will be fine..very touristy which makes it safer)
