Milan was really just a ‘landing’ place for us after our international flight before we headed to our first destination, Lake Maggiore.
Our hotel had a cool downstairs restaurant for dining. We enjoyed our breakfast here, but for the life of us couldn’t eat anyone to bring us our FIRST Italian cappuccino. I decided to ‘yelp’ a good coffee spot. You can’t mess up your first coffee experience in Italy, it might mess up your whole trip! Thank you Yelp, we found a spot just an 8 minute walk away. Couldn’t have asked for a better cappuccino or more patient barista. Dana asked for a ‘latte’ and he said ‘milk only?’ She said, ‘yes’ as in ‘don’t need sugar.’ He said, ‘hot?’ She said, ‘yes.’ So that’s what she got, hot milk. LOL. When he served it up right in front of us sans coffee and she saw my cappucino, she said ‘no, no…that is what I wanted, the cappuccino.’ He was so gracious and quickly disposed of the hot milk drink and we had 2 cappuccinos presented as our ‘firsts’ of the trip. Vacation saved! Ha ha.
