It was supposed to be off to Venice today, but we didn't mobilise early enough, so it's on the books for tomorrow. Instead we visited the church in Duomo, the Milan Cathedral, which is beautiful to say the least, I can't really describe it, but it was magic! It took 5 centuries to build and is the 4th largest church in the world. Sadly no photography allowed inside, but fingers crossed if the IT gods are kind, there will be photos in this post!! They were! Yay! I've just realised that they are in reverse order, but I'm tired so I'm leaving them as is. Above is a side view of the Cathedral, with the Madonna statue at top, bit hard to see - but she's gold.
We also went and saw the Robert Wilson Voom Portraits in the piazza, which was beyond this building, also lovely, it was all rather surreal, with the portraits 'staring' at you.
This was out the front of the gallery, not sure what it is, but who doesn't love a pink centaur.
Here's Asha, in front of church, with attack pigeons at the ready.
This is another building on the piazza.
Horse & Rider statue which I'm also not sure about.
Front view of church, this is nowhere close to doing it justice - you need to see it in person!!Well, as we have to be up extra early, I'll sign off, enjoy the pictures and ciao until next time.
Asha, Cathy & Wombat :)
