Adl 2200 Fri --> Dubai 0530 Sat
Dubai 0945 Sat --> Milan 1420 Sat
Oh, how I do wish I could actually sleep on planes...probably got a total of 30 min across both flights :(
So I was very careful not to be at all rushed or panicked or hungry for the next stage of the process which involved sequencing 3 trains:
- Malpensa airport train (definitely not an express, despite being badged as such) to Milan central station where I had just missed one train I wanted but there was another half an hour later and this gave me time to consume what was basically an espresso Paddle-Pop;
- Milan to Verona (the connection I wanted to Trento should have given me 11 min between trains but this one was 8 min late, and I hadn't bought a ticket for the next train yet because of this, so in the end I had to wait 2 hours for the next train but this did allow me to leave my pack at the station and walk as far as the inner city, which I would have loved to explore more. I found the Roman ruins, but didn't get to via Shakespeare);
- Verona to Trento which ran 20 min late by the time it got there but this was perfect timing for Stefano to pick me up on his way back from event setup for the 5-Days of Italy.
So I finally got to my hotel about 10pm, 34 hours after leaving home and a very long time since I had woken up at 6am Friday...
