Day 0166

Writing this from the sleeper train to Paris. Been homeless all day having checked-out of the apartment this morning and not having a train until 11. Here's what I did.

Went inside the Duomo. Big police presence outside, they endeavoured to search my bag at the door. Problematic because it has all my worldly possessions in (well, enough to live from indefinitely). Very embarrassing having my underwear, toiletries, parmesan spread out all over a table with a queue of people behind me. Finally he gave up the search and let me in.

From Duomo I went to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, where I spent a couple of hours looking at the art. Enjoyed the Breughel, Leonardo's codex.

Piadina, gelato, coffee. Then on to the Pinacoteca Brera, which happily has late opening on Thursdays. Drew the Francesco Francia. Had the entire gallery to myself. Now off to Paris.
