Keith and Julie: Milan Morning of Tues 29 April

We arrived in Milan late evening Monday April 28. 

Up early on tram #1 into centre, about 2 blocks walk to Duomo.

Statue out front of first king of Italy.

The entrance to the shopping galleria next to cathedral.

Very quiet before 9am but still had to queue to get into elevator/lift to roof of Duomo (the Terraces).

Plenty of time to look at sculptures on side of cathedral. Is this an owl or koala or what?

And then up on the Terraces...

in a constant state of repairs and cleaning..

You can see (above) cleaning/replacement done on left, more to do.

Literally walking on roof it seems.

Each statue has a lightening rod behind them!

Exit via cathedral. If you bought tickets, you divert into cathedral. We left instead.

More crowds outside than before!

Eventually got tram #1 back and snacked outside our accommodation.
