Day31 just a short trip

No great plans for today other than travelling from Lecco to Milan,
In warmer weathers it would be really nice spending time by lake Como not necessarily at Lecco I didn't find much of an old town here pretty much a UK standard town set on a beautiful lake and surrounded by mountains, I may well have missed something nice about the place.... 
At least the hostel was nice lol
Well onwards is the only option. 
And soon the mountains are fading into the distance and flat agricultural land becomes the norm , after the spectacular views of the Alps it's nice to see greenery again but I was obviously not inspired to take photos! 
At least not until I exited the train at Milan..... Now Milano Centrale stazione is something very special! 
An art deco palace not of marble but another stone
Quite jaw dropping throughout! 
a bit of modern art just to right of the last picture really didn't inspire it of the apple logo in 3d with the bitten section stapled back in..... Funny what's considered art!
The Hostel isn't far away a couple of miles at the most so I wander down broad streets with the European standard of passage for road vehicles, trams cycles and pedestrians squeezing in and dodging the others! They can be a little chaotic!
Milan seems pretty modern and a bit run down if I'm honest, but I'm tired so I'll hold back any judgment today! 
Into the hostel everything stored and out again, but only to get to the local Carrefour for food drinks and snacks, back to the dorm and I'm soon joined by 3 American lads one Chilean and one that doesn't say much at all! 
A good rowdy bunch! 
I spend the rest of today relaxing eating and taking sh#t!
Not a bad day!
