Whilst waiting at the airport I got a message from Nat saying she was delayed by 1.5hrs… but that’s the way it goes with us!! Nat had set about planning it perfectly so that our flights coincided with each other, but alas it wasn’t to be!! After checking through and a long wait and a relatively short flight, I finally arrived in Milan where it was raining, glad I had taken out all my long sleeve item after checking the weather in Milan for the last few weeks!!! Argh!!!

It took over an hour for my bag to appear at baggage claim. I was dying of thirst and there was no where to get a drink…

Whilst waiting at the airport I got a message from Nat saying she was delayed by 1.5hrs… but that’s the way it goes with us!! Nat had set about planning it perfectly so that our flights coincided with each other, but alas it wasn’t to be!! After checking through and a long wait and a relatively short flight, I finally arrived in Milan where it was raining, glad I had taken out all my long sleeve item after checking the weather in Milan for the last few weeks!!! Argh!!!

It took over an hour for my bag to appear at baggage claim. I was dying of thirst and there was no where to get a drink…

I exited and waited for Nat at the arrivals section. I couldn’t see her flight on the board for ages (and it wasn’t just because I wasn’t wearing my glasses!!) and was starting to get a bit concerned since they were showing flights that were hours after hers… still no messages from her either… I look around a bit then realized that there was another arrivals area - called Area B!! bugger!! So as I walked up there Nat was just coming out which was good timing.

It was sooo good to see her and it seemed like no time had passed at all… can’t believe it’s been 6 months already.

We caught the bus which took 50 minutes to central. It was still raining so we weren’t that excited about looking for our hotel… outside there were people everywhere selling umbrellas (which incidentally were there same people selling glasses the next time the sun came out). Nat had her umbrella and I managed to find my rain jacket that I got in Scotland the year before for obvious reasons!!

We finally asked someone and as it turned out you could see our hotel from the station (Nat said it was close!! Another good choice on her behalf!)

I was still pretty sick with the flu, but Nat the superstar brought me over some ...
