We're now established in our self-catering apartment in Milan.. It's worth pausing a moment to describe the apartment. It's one of a number of apartments around Milan apparently managed by a small group (I located them on the internet, but I can't recall how!). It's in the Brera district (which seems to be nice) and has been renovated and so is modern and bright (and we like it). However, it has some features that may perhaps be described as Italian “flair”. For example, it took us quite some time to find the cutlery drawer, hidden inconspicuously in the saucepan cupboard. A couple of the light fittings embody loads of “style”. It has the obligatory coffee machine but no toaster (that's Italy we suppose, so we'll survive!). The shower head looks good, but is almost incapable of providing a good wash! However it has unlimited internet included in the rent.
Of course, the first thing to do was to visit the local supermarket to stock up on essentials such as muesli, wine etc etc. We then set out to explore, so more on that later.
