What's going on everybody this is Island Hopper TV coming to you from Milano
So right here we have the Duomo Milano. I've had a layover here in Milano. It's the morning time
And here we go. So I'm going to be catching the train to Rome
But in the meantime, I decided to walk around the Duomo. My train leaves at 11.30
Got hop-on-hop-off buses. Lots of them. Got a Gucci building over there
So this is the Duomo Cathedral
They also have shopping here. It's one of the oldest shopping malls
Very good. You can even go up there. There's people up there
You see the whole area here. They have a famous Leonardo da Vinci painting here
So far while I've been here in Milan, I've met people named Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael
If you like high-end shopping, this is where you need to be, right
simply amazing. By the way, if you guys wanted to watch that train ride
that I'm going to do from Milan to Rome, you can check out my other channel
Vert Cam Travel. Some of you guys were curious about that. That's the name
I just did Zurich to Milan. Really nice place here. We've got Prada
Dior, Prada, Louis Vuitton. I think that's the oldest Prada store Wow
Just the floor itself is quite spectacular I actually rode a bird bike down here
That bird bike ride with Uber and on Google it said it was going to take 16 minutes but
but it really took like 40 minutes. Probably more user error, but also a little bit of discrepancy with the timing
I don't know how fast they think people ride bikes, but they must be riding it really quickly
Anyway, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to be doing here coming up is heading to Rome
then hopefully back up to Florence, and then from Florence, I'll have to pick a direction
I'll either go towards Slovenia or I'll go towards France. Being that I just came from Switzerland, I won't be going north
there's benefits to going both ways if I go towards France obviously Monaco, Nice
and then on to Spain the benefit of going to Slovenia is Bosnia, Serbia, all new countries
new areas, Georgia, Romania in that direction so there's benefits to going
both directions We'll see. Either way, I've got to get to Rome
Haven't been there in a few years. Long overdue Rome is like one of the most famous places
Let's make a video. If you make a video in Rome, that's a good place to make a video every few years for your channel
I've been to Rome, I think this will be my third time to Rome
No, fourth time. I've already been there three times. Usually I come in the other way, through France
This is my first time coming in through Switzerland into Milan. I usually go down Geneva, Lyon, Monaco, Nice, and then drop back down again
So in that case, I usually go towards the Cinque Terre, Pisa
Florence
Florence is on the way to Rome actually from Milan. So that's cool
I can't believe the roads are still made of rock. These are stone roads
That's what's amazing about Italy. So much craftsmanship went into building these cities in Europe
That's why they're still standing strong. This generation that we have now
they just built things out of wood. Stucco. like the homes that were built in Scotland
they're still standing, they're all made of rock They do have a subway here
Just so you know, if you want to take this away, it's about four stops away from Milan Central
Milano Centrale. Yesterday I went to Lugano
Made a video over there. Then I made a stop over in Lake Como
Just wasn't filming it. I wanted to go to Bellagio. I couldn't find a place to store my luggage
I was tired. already had been to Lucerne so I decided
just get on the train to Milan stayed at the Hilton nearby the station
cost 150 dollars or 150 euros stayed at the Hilton old hotel, old, old, old Hilton
very old bed was comfortable though that's all that I needed Internet was incredibly fast
I've never seen internet that fast for a hotel. For a Hilton. I was like, what the heck
Faster than anything I saw in Switzerland. So I'm gonna head over to the station and pick up what I get there
I'm gonna pick up my luggage and start over with the Bert Camp travel
Okay, we're here at Milano Centale. I'll just show you around the main station here
You can see they really put some work into this. this is
like the next big evolution after riverboats came the trains and obviously all that's been replaced now by airplanes
and cars they don't really build airports as grandiose like this I guess maybe Singapore did
in northern Europe they build the most basic airports
especially in the north I went to Austria Edinburgh
recently, Amsterdam's nice but nothing like this, like grandiose I've never been to the Milan airport
been to Italy, Rome's nothing too crazy going on there anyways guys
I will see you on the next one from Rome
