vienna-milan 12 hours of travelling (day 3)

today, we made our trip to milan......we started our journey 5 in the morning...... we went to milan to visit our relative and also to have our holiday there while we are still in europe....

so after all the packing and lock the apartment doors, we hit the highway and towards the european mountains....... after nearly 3 hours of driving, we came to a city called Graz...we took pictures there becoz the scenery is wonderful.....but the weather was horrifying becoz it is cold with the wind blowing strongly.....so after nearly 15 minutes of rest, we continue our journey.....seriously the scenery through the mountains is fantastic and also breath taking.....with pictures taken and admiring the scenery.....we then hit several tunnels that go through the mountains (31 to be exact)...... seriously we were like in the aquarium....the tunnels range are from 500 meters to 3.5km......huhuhu.....that's really far.....

then we came up a place call st. andrä......we had our breakfast there since it was around 10 in the morning....... the first thing that we all aimed was the toilet.....hehehehehe......we had nasi impit and also rendang that my aunt cooked early in the morning before we hit the road..... true malaysian we are....hehehe

then after packing up the stuff, we hit the road again....and as for me it is normal that i'm off to lalaland.....hehehehe....favourite hobby as i say.....then we came up to a rest stop around 2 in the afternoon where we had our lunch.......and the cars in europe is eye opening if we compare to malaysia....i guess that they really appreciate good cars.....

after some 12 hours of travelling, we arrived in milan..roughly around 430 in the evening......the city of fashion......the first thing that we do was to meet our relative there, uncle ijad......he has being living in italy for almost 30 years.....he has a step family there......he was really happy seeing us (me in particular) to be in italy......

when he greet me he said "finally u are here"....hehehehe....so we met his italian brother and also did some catch ups to see how he's doing and also what's new..... .he prepared the whole group dinner....the menu was lasagne and also some other italian food....it was delicious....thanx uncle ijad for the meal...... so after my parents and also my uncle checked in to the apartment that we've rent, we hit san siro.....

san siro is the stadium of italian football clubs - AC Milan and Inter Milan......seriously we have arrived at the stadium that the whole world knows.....so as me and my brother take turns to become the paparazzi of taking pictures, we went to see milan at night...with uncle ijad as the tour guide, we went through milan, seriously it is an old town and also with its haywire traffic system, it really bring the creeps in us....just imagine a tram is sharing the same road as we are....sometimes when we are at the traffic light, the tram is really queieng behind us.....hahahaha.....sharing is caring i think.....but then the city is more or less like KL....so people dun put ur hopes too high

so we arrived in the middle of milan city, we took pictures at the shops in milan and also the famous church in milan.....it took 300 years to complete the church as my uncle informed us....that is very very long time.... so after taking some pictures, we hit back to the apartment and straight went to bed.....next stop.....switzerland......nitez everyone...
