This weekend nckt, Babystrangeways and myself visited Milan.

These are the photographs from what became mine and nckt's home for the weekend. I'm avoiding naming it in case anybody else needs to sleep there over the summer!

Four stars, 300 rooms (containing granite-lined bathrooms and hydro massage tubs), twenty storeys high, right next to the Centrale train station - the location couldn't be better for our needs.

The sleeping quarters...

On the first night there I was woken up by voices at around 2am. I was convinced we were going to get thrown out. As the voices came nearer I realised that they weren't hotel staff but drunken Polish people who had become inadvertent urban explorers by getting pissed, going on the rooftop and taking pictures. These n00bs were using their flash though.

The strobe of their camera flash lit up the crane that we were sleeping under. They were stood no further than ten feet away from us, but the spot we'd chosen was so good that they failed to spot us.
