Milan awaits you!
Anyone who often travels by Flixbus will be familiar with this news.
So we set off at midnight on Friday. Of course, sleeping before that wasn’t an option. Friday was still a normal working day. We already knew the route quite well. The Flixbus goes via Zurich to Milan. It’s actually a nice route… but somehow not the best at night. Anyway, after a relatively long journey with minimal sleep (sleeping on the bus is and remains an almost impossible task), we arrived at Lampugnano bus station early in the morning. It’s not really that nice, but it’s fine. After all, we didn’t come here to stay. You should take care of your luggage there, especially if it contains several thousand euros worth of equipment. We then left relatively quickly in the direction of the stadium where the Seamen were playing. We thought that we could chill out in a park somewhere for a while or something similar. Unfortunately, we hadn’t counted on the weather. We’ve had incredibly bad weather this season anyway. When we arrived in the area, we first “settled in” in a cozy little café with our luggage and treated ourselves to a nice breakfast. Everything we needed to relax a little was in the immediate vicinity, in other words everything except a bed. There was also a supermarket just around the corner. We stocked up there for the night’s journey. The really clever thing was that the café had a small but nice toilet with an integrated washbasin etc. Of course, we took the opportunity to freshen up. Yes, we slowly began to calculate with such possibilities and then, poof, we had slipped up the Frankfurt scale again. We took it in turns to go in, wash up and change, and emerged from the toilet almost unnoticed, fresh (although still tired) and in different clothes. The rest of the time we hid from the rain under the umbrellas of a small fast food pizzeria. At some point we crossed the road to the Velodromo Vigorelli. We weren’t allowed in that early, but at least we were allowed to leave our suitcases there.
