...touched down in Milan for the very first time! Indeed, it was a day of firsts for the Turtles.
The first day of their journey kicked off well: a flight without hiccups and Tiny who slept well and generally behaved herself. Then we arrived in Milan and Tiny made a weewee on her clothes while Myrtle was changing her nappy and vomited (for the first time in her 22-month old life) on herself within a period of about 4 minutes... When the first vomit started, Myrtle grabbed the wee'd-upon babygrow and held it at Tiny's mouth. The result? Only one piece of clothing that could be rolled up in a ball and thrown away.
Myrtle had her first espresso ever, but it wasn't very effective in fighting off the jet-lag. The Turtles will all be retiring very soon, hopefully to wake up rested and ready for the rest of Milan tomorrow.
Myrtle booked the hotel on the internet and it was chosen due to the discount received based on Tony's frequent flyer card. Myrtle didn't have the presence of mind to find out the exact location of the hotel and when they ventured into the streets after checking in, they had the eery feeling that they flew for 13 hours just to be back in Hong Kong. Chinese people everywhere and shops selling dried seeweed and other strange creatures in jars... Tony looked perplexed as he asked: "Did you book this hotel because you knew you would be missing Hong Kong? " We are in the heart of Milan's Chinatown... It is easier to find a plate of dim sum than a plate of pasta in this joint...
