Parma
... tours running throughout the afternoon taking people through the aged meat and cheese cellars underground. It seems to be a very popular place for all the foodies! Our room is really nice- it has a lovely new bathroom with a big bath but they've kept the original castle feel to it too which is nice.

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.
