This morning was an early one waking at 03:20 for the 06:35 flight from Otopeni Airport to Milan Malpensa. The airport is very basic with no shops at all, a baggage scan system before the actual check-in counters.

This morning was an early one waking at 03:20 for the 06:35 flight from Otopeni Airport to Milan Malpensa. The airport is very basic with no shops at all, a baggage scan system before the actual check-in counters.
Malpensa airport is very far away from Milan Center. We first had to take a 50 minute bus to "Stazione Centrale" then take the metro to "Piazza Duomo" for a total cost of 7.50Euro. A very unpleasant surprise awaited us here. As soon as we got out of the metro a huge block of grey greeted us. I couldnt believe my eyes, the Duomo Cathedral was completely covered for restoration. Not even in a hundred years can you imagine the disappointment of my loved one. She has been waiting to see the Duomo for ages and now that we were just there in front of it, it was covered. I obviously had to listen to a whole litany of why Italy is the worst and stupidest place on earth, etc. etc. etc. Fortunately, there was a Burger King just around.
We had to content with Vittorio Emmanuele street as at least this was open. After a huge soft ice-cream we went shopping and she restored her mood. At 15:30 we returned to the airport to be in time for the 19:30 flight back home.
Sob Sob Sob.
