Home sweet...when can we go on holiday again?

I have finally unpacked (about 2 hours ago...), recovered and found time to write about my amazing trip to Milan!
What an amazing city! The weather was beautiful on my birthday - really sunny and lovely and warm, which we were definitely not expecting! In the morning we did a bit of old-person sightseeing which included going up The Duomo, an absolutely maaa-assive church.  I'm not sure if its the years I spent being dragged to National Trusts as a child but I was able to appreciate it quite a bit! 
We climbed up the stairs (!) to the roof and took this picture looking down on the Piazza del Duomo - lovely, despite the amount of pigeons...

 Then in a less conventional move, we set off for the Milano Tattoo Convention!  It was so busy and had so many traders and artists that it took literally hours to look around! Found some amazing tattooists from all over the world and looked in about 1zillion sketchbooks - was on a particular hunt for candy skulls!
 Found some awesome tattooists - http://guendouglas.blogspot.com/ and also http://sunnybuick.com/

Unfortunately they're both based abroad...but you know...could go on holiday again...?

Later on we had an amazing pizza for dinner and then got pretty happy drinking some €11 cocktails!  At the airport on the way home I bought ALOT of spirits and a bottle of Limencello to begin my own cocktail extravaganza!

Now all I need is a cocktail recipe book...!
