I will be arriving in Milan on 9/4/09, a Friday, at the Malpensa airport. I want to spend a few hours in Milan before proceeding to Monterosso. I plan on getting a train to Monterosso, and will likely take the train from the airport to Milan. Here is my confusion...I do not know what train to take to Cinque Tere. It makes the most sense to leave my luggage in a locker while touring the city, however, where do I get the train to Monterosso? Is that a different train station than the one where I will arrive from the airport? If it is a different train station, should I get on a subway or bus and leave the baggage at that particular station? Where will I purchase the ticket for Monterosso? Should I make the purchase ahead of time, if so, I am skeptical of being locked into a particular departure time, as I may run late. Help, I read Rick's book, but can't figure this one out!
