Beautiful Turin
... a fairly lousy breakfast which cost 16 euro and headed to Torino. Discovered that the GPS wasn't working properly for Italy. Searching through I discovered that when France was downloaded the map for Italy disappeared. Pretty pissed about this. So we ...
Turin and the Italian Alps
... but Jason ate it, and I think it was good for him, cleaned out all bad stuff, and made him quite healthy!!! To continue on with Turin... it is surrounded by the Alps. Anyway, we are in turin right now, and it is raining. I am at the ...
Soooooo tired
... lotto tickets. I slept through the whole thing, but Justin had some stories to tell me when we landed. We arrived in Turin around 10am with little problems. We made it through customs, got our luggage and car rental and were on the road ...
Turin - My university year
Turin is a wonderful cityy, maybe not as cosmopolitan as Milan, or as easy-going as Bologna, but I did have lots of fun here during my (only) year of university back in 2002. I was studying modern Italian Literature, but I was also working full time ...
Si parte tra poco!
Sono appena arrivata a casa, non c'è molto tempo però con Natale di mezzo, secondo voi quanto farà freddo? e quanto morirò? Io Odio I Giacconi Pesanti! difatti non ne ho, perchè non li compro ...
Another day of glorious mountains
... all this traffic and soon I manage to push my way through and finally get back out on the open road towards Quix. Speeds here in Italy are far slower than in France or Spain and so I plod along gently and just about obey the limits. The sun is beating ...

We managed to fit in a bit of sightseeing and a few snaps in Turin before getting on the flight ...
Torino
Winter Olympics 2006...couldn't miss it when it was so close. We wanted to do this by spending as little money as possible since the tickets were kind of pricey, so we went for the ultimate euro-travel experience: sleeping on the train. We ...
Camino a Firenze
Luego de la fresca velada en el Delle Alpi y de ver a mi equipo preferido italiano me tomé el tren hacia Milán en donde realicé conexión con otro que iba hacia el sur. Me dispongo a visitar a la mítica Florencia y allí me encontraré con Teresa, la ...
Turin
Our first taste of Europe was great!!! We flu into Turin, Italy on our 69pence Ryan Air flight. Everything was closed up for the weekend which was a shame so ill have to wait for my Prada or Gucci handbag! We had a wander around and found a farmers ...
Into Italy
Besides the snow and the ice, which had not been cleared from the roads, I soon received another indication that I was in Italy. Ordering a pastery at the train station, I predictably mispronounced the name of whatever it was I was asking for. Rather then ...
Way-hey!
Great fun, not at all Italian though - Loads of Irish bars and drinking mayhem. My lessons in Hailsham on the dry slopes were a bit of a waste of time -I was hopeless - Thanks rat for your patience! Got better though, until I went on to blades - ...
Turin, Italy
The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. The question is, is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval ...
More planes trains and buses!
... that a bus was scheduled to leave Torino to Canale at 115. Yeah, this is when I start to explain how things work In Italy. The kinda don't work at all. I found out later that the particular bus I was getting on was a commuter bus from ...
Meno 48
Fa caldo, c'è confusione. A 48 ore dalla partenza, scopro che ci siamo dimenticati di fare la vaccinazione anti tifo a piccoli. Ci manca la zanzariera, dobbiamo portarci un lettino di scorta, abbiamo ordinato delle medicine e ancora non sappiamo se ...
Pronti, partenza...
E ci siamo. Biglietto comprato ancora prima delle vacanze estive. Si viaggia con socia nuova. Una delle poche che parla più di me. Un proverbio spagnolo recita "Due grandi parlatori non andranno lontano insieme". Ma noi non siamo spagnole. Come se non ...
Day three in the Roadrunner meep meep!!
We awoke in Dijon to find everything back at normal size - apart from the mini which seemed to have shrunk despite the deminishing food mountain in the car. Much amusement was had in the showers following the remnents of our new towels, Richard thought ...
