Milano or Bust

We are off to Milano. Rain again. Check train schedules and off to find the Sogards at their hotel. Still no luck with phone number. We find their hotel and they are out exporing. We leave a note and back to train station. Time to purchase a ticket to Levanto. The train station is crazy on this Friday night. What no seats? What one seat? This is not good. What to do? Why are we trying so hard to get out of Milano? Call for hotel. Check in, off to find Sogards for Dinner.

Finally we meet them for drinks. More rain, off to dinner. Plan in place for Saturday morning.

Back to hotel. Good night.

What is that noise? What is going on out side? It is so loud and awakes us early. Sounds like something................ We open the shutters and where an empty parking lot stood last evening is now and outdoor market. Explains the loud early morning.

We pack up and head to train station. Meet Carol and Rob and we are off to the Cinque Terra.

Bottle of wine and snacks............. Train travel is definitely for us.
