Monday in Turin
Monday 24th October 2016
Another day in and around Turin. Didn't really have anything planned for today (other than doing laundry!) so ended up spending a fair bit of the day just aimlessly wandering around.

Sunrise in Venice, Sunset in Turin
Thursday 27th October 2016
Woke early in Venice for a wonderful sunrise, then back to my hotel for breakfast before checking out and heading back to the station. Frecciarossa 1000 again back to Turin (and had a nice lunch onboard). Back in Turin, spent the remainder of the afternoon doing shopping, before having an aperitivo of torbolino and chestnuts on the balcony of our apartment at sunset, and the dinner at a Piemontese/Ligurian restaurant round the corner.

Got the Eurostar from London to Paris, had lunch in Paris, then got the TGV from there to Turin. Arrived quite late in Turin, but still squeezed in time for a welcome drink at Caffe Mulassano and Caffe Fiorio.
