The tour group gathered by the beautiful Milan Duomo and we walked for 3 hours through the neighboring areas as our tour guide showed us points of interest such as a chapel decorated with bones and an intetesting piece of modern art scupture which stands in front of the stock market building making a statement. 
We stopped at a covered square with domed ceilings. If you stand on one corner and someone else stands in the corner diagonal to you then you can carry on a quiet conversation. It was pretty cool.
After the walking tour we made our over to a food emporium that someone had told us about called Eataly. It was amazing! We were only held back from buying massive amounts of Italian food and cook books by the limited space we had left in our luggage.
They have barrels of wine where you can fill your own jug and you pay by the litre. It was so cheap!
We had seafood for lunch in their upstairs cafe. After lunch we went back to the hotel to have a little rest before going out for the evening.
We had heard about a "Star Wars" themed bar so we set out to find it. Unfortunately however, the bar had closed down and we were led on a wild goose chase.
The upside of the evening was that we met a young man on the bus named Francesco who is from Sicily. He is a student at the university in Milan and really a sweet boy. He walked around with us keeping us company and helped us try to find the non-existant starwars bar. When we realized that our search was in vain Francesco helped us find a bar where we got something to eat and drank wine while we talked. I think he was glad for the opportunity to practice his english and we were glad for the company and to meat another Italian and hear about his culture.
