Taking it easy in Turin

You have heard of Slow Food. We have 5 nights to sleep and 4 days to relax in Turin, so we are experimenting with Slow (enjoyable) Life.

We had heard that a number of bars offer an evening buffet and drink, so we searched for and found one nearby on Friday evening. For a total of €12 we had a Campari and prosecco and as much of the admittedly ordinary focaccia, eggplant, olives, sausage etc as we were inclined to consume.

On Saturday we had a Slow Walk and a Slow Nap, and a hot chocolate made solely of melted chocolate.

 

We watched an organ grinder and trumpet player

 

Tried unsuccessfully to work out how this man sat suspended

And studied numerous monuments in numerous piazzas.

In the evening we walked 2 km to dine at a restaurant we had identified in TripAdvisor, "Insider" and had a very good repast focused on scallops, whole squid, and prawns.

  1. I also recently saw a "suspended man" - very intriguing!
