Frankfurt / Mainz
Mainz, May 2009
This was my first layover in Mainz three years ago. By that time we used to stay in Mainz instead of Frankfurt. Mainz is a really nice city located on the west side of the River Rhine. Like almost all german cities, it has a perfect urban planning, it's clean and with awesome architecture! It is also a very peaceful place to live.
The first batch of photos:

No easy flight!
Vienna Airport, June 2012
My last flight before holidays was not an easy one. Huge delays, passengers throwing up during the flight, babies throwing up, passengers with pacemakers feeling bad, moderate turbulence during the descent to get things worse, etc... But it was also my first time landing at Vienna!

Needless to say, I didn't even step out of the aircraft during the turnaround...
Milano: Castello Sforzesco
Milan, June 2012
Honestly, Milan is far from my favorite layovers. So I decided that I should stay in the room and study for my exam next June 18.

| Hotel view |
Having a dark hotel room and this kind of window view doesn't help when you try to find the beautiful side of a city and get motivated to it. But weather was warm and sunny and for me it's quite impossible to stay an entire day inside a room without getting depressed, so I decided to walk towards the center of Milan and have lunch there. It was a 30-minute walk along the Corso Sempione, then crossing Parco Sempione and then.... wait... the castle! I always wanted to give a visit to the castle. Castles were one of my favorite subjects of my childhood.
So I got inside and took some photos with my smartphone.

Castello Sforzesco
After visiting the castle I was getting really hungry but fortunately the Piazza del Duomo was just 5 minutes away.
Next day, another early morning as usual... We departed from Linate Airport.

This last photo was taken from our Airbus CS-TTA which ironically carried the portuguese national football team to Poznan in Poland the previous day. Unfortunately our aircraft had no special titles...
