I jumped on a cheap fare to Italy despite it being over Easter because, well I hadn't been to Italy yet and a sub $400 RT ticket to Malpensa airport in Milan is hard to pass up. So we land and are ready to start our trip - we had the timetables for the Malpensa airport train and what stop to get off on and everything. Except we can't find the train station anywhere. The signage is pretty good and we've navigated more than a few airports so this was...odd. My wife goes up to ask the information desk where the train is.
"There is no train station here."
Oh I thought there was.
"No train only at Malpensa, not here."
We both shared wtf looks. If we weren't at Malpensa then where the fuck were we? Turns out one of the 7 schedule change notifications I got was also an airport change to the smaller Linate. I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on those notifications next time although perhaps something in the subject line like "Schedule AND AIRPORT change" would be a welcome addition. Anyway we were able to fairly quickly figure out the bus schedule so no real damage done.
The weather was supposed to be generally terrible while we were there but really only rained heavily 2 days. On the positive side the cloud cover made for some very dramatic blue hours (although dealing with crowds sometimes ruined my shots)
