We hadn't been to Milan prior to this week (except to use the airport a couple of years ago) so off we trotted.....

to visit the world's first shopping mall...

but note the lack of shopping bags. And trust me don't ask for a beer here, it was the most expensive beer I have ever had!


And then the main event....

We even had time to visit the Ferrari store (what else would you do in Milan?)....

before a long lunch at http://www.acena.it/bagutta/....

San Siro stadium to see Snow Patrol and U2 live on the revolutionary 360º stage...

The stage was fantastic, a cross between a space station and a cactus flower!

Snow Patrol got the crowd warmed up before the Dublin lads arrived....
