Journal Entry:
Got up early to catch an early train to Milan. Unfortunately there wasn't one. Hiked the Via Del'Amore (the section of trail between Riomaggiore and Manarola that was closed yesterday. First sunny day in awhile so the walk was quite nice. Caught a train to Milan found a cheap hotel to share with Sofie and Seri. I spent the rest of the day exploring Milan's Duomo and surrounding plaza. They have dead cardinals in glass coffins which seemed kind of strange...

I stopped at a cafe for a pint of Guinness which was very nice, but not worth the 20,000 lira (US$20) price. I met Sof and Seri back at the hotel. Sof was devistated because she hated her hair cut (she cut most of it off), and lots of wine was consumed before we could get her to come out for dinner.
