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.
