Parma
... long day of driving is a bit too much with a toddler. So it all worked out well in the end :) We managed to tag along on a tour of the castle next door. The tour guide spoke in Italian so we had no clue what she was saying so we ended up just wandering off and having a quick look around.

The Primi was flat-noodle pasta with ...
Parma, qui dit fromage et jambon, dit bonne ville?
Levé tôt pour la ville du parmigiano et du jambon. La route se faisait assez bien, malgré les mongoles qui te coupent à tout bout de champs. En Italie, j'ai appris qu'il fallait avoir la zen attitude pour conduire. Les stops n'existent pas, si la limite c'est 130, ça roule à 160, excepté s'il y a un radar.
As usual, le stationnement que j'avais noté était rendu obsolète (bâtiment dorénavant en construction). ...
