I think that’s all of my posts for this trip! I returned to New York safely, although my luggage was ridiculously heavy. I managed to stay under the 23kg weight limit, though, thank goodness. Then the flight was delayed because of thunderstorms in New York. We had to stop in Boston for a few hours and I didn’t get to New York until after midnight.
Platform 9 and 3/4! I went on my final day in London, and the wall was a wall again! Everyone was telling me they had made it just a poster of a brick wall because of construction.

This slice of pizza was HUGE! It was really good, but I think I should have just gotten a plain one. Mine had ham and brie on it, and they were perhaps not the best combination.

Michelangelo’s unfinished La Pieta in Milan.

I had a hazelnut McFlurry in Milan! McFlurries have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and the only thing I will order from McDonalds, but they always make me feel sick after. But this one was actually really good! The quality is way better.

I went to this restaurant, the Fashion Cafe, at Erica’s recommendation. I was super confused and the waiter was the first person I met who didn’t speak English! But I was told about apertivos, and how food comes with your drink, so I ordered the sweetest/fuitiest/weakest-sounding drink on the menu, the ladybug. By the time I was done, I had a headache! If that’s what it feels like to be drunk, it is not fun.

So many stores in Milan were closed when I was there! It was so disappointing. Apparently they were all on summer holiday. And remodeling their stores during that time.

The Duomo in Milan. Europe’s third largest church. And you have to be appropriately dressed to enter it.

I think this was my first ever sunrise! The morning mist in Sweden was amazing. At first I thought it was some sort of farming tool for watering the crops.
