Erki & Katrina hitch-hiking Europe: Days in Milano

Greetings from rainy fashion capital =)

Our road to Milano didn't go as planned, but it most certainly was interesting. We decided to take a cheap train out of Genoa, to get a better position for hitch-hiking to Milano. It took us to a small town on the national highway heading from Genoa to Milano. What we didn't realise before heading out, was that the road was actually in a valley. So it was really narrow and didn't have much of room for cars to stop. After standing besides the road for some hours, we took a very short ride to the next town, which was a bit bigger than the one we started off from, but even from there, hitch-hiking was a difficult task. Mountain roads aren't made for hitch-hikers ;)

So as we seemed to be bit stuck in those little villages, we walked to the railwaystation nearby, to see if there are any trains heading to Milano. When we got to the station, we found that the ticked office was closed and the self service terminal was out of order. There was a train coming from Genoa in 30 minutes and going to Milano. Simple decision was to hop on the train and go as far as we could. It took us all the way to Milano and we had no issues with the ticket inspector, as she didn't ask anything from us. In the end getting to Milano proved to be easier than expected =P

When we arrived in Milano it was raining fairly heavily and it didn't stop for pretty much rest of the day.
