September 22nd: Milan in Depth & Tamerlano at La Scala

Today our guided walking tour of central Milan was an opportunity to stretch our legs after yesterday’s travel whilst becoming familiarized with the city.  
We joined our expert local guide Giacomo again to see the iconic sights of the Sforze fortressthe Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (with the birthplace of Campari), the legendary La Scala, & the Duomo, where we toured both the exterior & interior.  
This afternoon was free for everyone to spend as they chose - enjoying a leisurely lunch, browsing the fashion stores, visiting historic churches, etc.
This evening we regrouped to enjoy our first opera, a performance of Tamerlano at La Scala, featuring the great Placido Domingo!  What a spectacular!
