We caught the train to Alba this morning. It definitely wasn't one of the fast trains but we got there eventually. As it is not tourist season there were no tours operating (it is famous for truffles and wine) so we just wandered around, had a great lunch and did some window shopping. Everything closed down until about three o'clock so window shopping it was - good way to save money. Eventually John did find a truffle shop open so he did a little bit of shopping and bought some of the local wine and a truffle. We found a great bakery and bought some biscuits for tonight's dessert. Yum!
Next time you are in Alba, Italy we would recommend this place. Great place for lunch.
When we got back into Torina we eventually found our way into Mole Antonelliana (cinema museum). They had a special exhibition about Academy Award winning actresses. It was worth the wait...4th time lucky. John and Amy caught the glass lift to the top of the building and think it was probably something they should have done on Day 1 as the view was terrific and it would have been a great way to get their bearings early on in our stay. Didn't take the camera with them though...oops!!
Here's Amy having a bit of fun in the museum.
John took this pic just down the way from where we are staying.
Goodbye, Turino.
