Started with a quick check at the train timings, a mad packing of our blankets
and a quick breakfast..
Obviously, as usual, we are late and never catch the 8.15am train.
9.15am train we took.. late to go onto the train again..
so we have no seats and sat on our huge bags..
entertaining ourselves throughout the 1h 55min journey to Torino with PSP, books
and some dozing off.
The torino girls picked us up at Torino Porta Nuova, laughing their heads off
at how huge our bags are. HYMPH!!! seriously we looked as though we are going to
stay there for a week!
After settling down in their condo apt, we headed at the much awaited Ciocolato Fest!
CHOCOLATE FEST in Torino.. an yearly event not to be missed!
The girls happy with their dark like ** chocolate gelato..
River Po is a breathtaking sight-seeing place beside the choco fest.
Very very very beautiful.. not something u will find in milan..
On one side of the riverbank, one can find a hill of churches and settlements
staggered up hill.. reminds me of the palisades condo in pasir panjang.
Cindy and Sixiu took us for a walk along Torino's shopping district and of cos
we took pictures along the way with our favourite subject:
TREES and PLANTS and FLOWERS.
Guess the flowers here are not commonly seen in SGP, thus we are totally fascinated
by them... and even clean grass amazes us to a great extent.
Proceeded to a ski shop called JOLLYSPORT to rent our skis ("scis" in italiano)
The boots and the scis and the scis sticks weigh a ton!!!
We dragged everything home impatiently, all looking forward to the aperitivo at 7pm!
Good food and fruity alcohol at a bar recommended by them called SHORE.
They serve healtier food as compared to the BLUE CANAL one we visited. YUMMy!
All exhausted, me and Cindy, Sixiu and Meihua shared beds to sleep, yan and gan
guarded the living room by sleeping on the sofa and cushions.
