Wednesday 2/15

Wednesday was split between two places - Milan and London. In the morning, I took a short bus tour of the city that included seeing il Duomo and Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" at Santa Maria della Grazie. Il Duomo was amazing - easily the biggest Catherdral I've ever seen, but seeing a copy of "The Last Supper" that Leonardo himself painted was incredible. The painting has been touched up several times in the last 500 years, but still - incredible. Unfortuntately, I wasn't able to take any pictures.
In the afternoon we took a two hour flight from Linate airport in Milan to London-Heathrow. A 45 minute cab ride brought us to Grosvenor House, a hotel on Park Lane in London. The hotel has a lot of potential, but was dissappointing in quite a few regards.
