magnificent milan

Next stop was gorgeous Milan, where we visited spectacular shops selling opulent jewelled gloves and masks and marvelled at all the beautiful people tottering down the boutique-lined streets in their stiletto heels.

The Duomo - I could quite happily get married here...

I discovered an beautiful pasticceria called Bastianello where white and gold-clad waiters served pretty cakes , ice creams and pastries, all decorated to perfection. The Easter eggs were works of art - almost (but not quite) too gorgeous to eat.
