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 castle was built in the 1400's and was still in really good condition. The rooms were all decked out with old furniture, paintings, swords etc which was really neat. It ...
Lake Como to Parma

I, of course, was not aware of this, since my host parents speak Italian very quickly when they are excited. So I also did not know that this dinner would be a proper 3-course dinner with the whole family. There were only ten total in our ...
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). ...
