Day 24, Rainy Milano

I woke to heavy rain and some wind. I ventured out for breakfast and  to double check the arrangements for tomorrow's transfer to Malpensa. Bottom line, I will be at the platform ready to go at 7:30 tomorrow.

Venturing further than the station in the rain was fraught since the water was 3-4cm deep on footpaths and road crossings, so I caught the Metro one stop to where you can walk undercover into Decathlon... waterproof shoes! Now I can set out to explore in the afternoon and evening.

I had a plan... on the opposite side of the block from my accommodation is a deli/enoteca Chiù Bistrot e Bottega which has a great display of formaggi and salume in the window with lots more besides. So I negotiated to buy an (excellent) bottle of nebbiolo, drink some of it for lunch and come back for more in the evening. Worked a treat.
