Herpes Shaving Outbreak Cause

Torino (Turin) - Milan - Fiesch (Switzerland)

Day 1

BCN - Torino

As travel is by car, get out early, around 7 am. In principle, according to Via Michelin, the route is about 800 km and about 8 hours, all by motorway, which between gasofa and tolls comes to about 190 €. As I want to save a bit, I decide what has happened to follow the Via michelin and Nimes past would begin to take back roads, so I see a bit of landscape, but is very boring.

to France is made in a moment, and as the day was a bit cloudy to perfect for travel.

from Perpignan to Nimes, the journey we start to dull (and no FM Flaix!), And over a small jam rogue Montpellier. Arriving in Orange, I walk out to the highway that I was bleeding everywhere, and a secondary road rascal. To begin with, and in Orange and I find I miss the road I want (it does not place any number of roads) but I get out. I am writing to Vaison la Romaine along roads full of vineyards (this is a wine route, with a lot of farmhouses selling their products). Arriving at Vaison la Romaine rogue another jam, we see that is a tourist town, which I increasingly delaying the arrival in Torino. From there to Nyons and then Gap, where I made the trip very heavy, flat, dry landscapes, like Almeria. This is where you find the cheapest diesel (in BCN to 1.12, in France on a 1.22) to 1.13 ??... Here was that rare!.

De Gap to Briancon the landscape changes completely, the first step by a beautiful lake, as you cross came to Savines le Lac, a beautiful town, tourist and quite posh, so I could see the lake shore, where a lot of windsurfers sailed its waters.

Before arriving in Briançon I run the first mountains of the Alps, spectacular!. I stand in a corner of the road where a huge statue of a climber, with the Alps in the background ... That stop I paid dearly, since there was a parked truck when I stopped, and went just before follow up . That truck led a queue of over a mile of cars behind him for over an hour, since before Briançon to take Highway Ouix , 100 km from Torino. Before reaching the highway crossed the Italian border, Montgenevre in a mountain village and the ski. It must be a winter evening. The lifts take you from the people to the slopes of the Alps!. A policeman at my passport registration asks me (thinking that makes this here, lol).

By the Ouix is a beast down (with the truck in front), passing under mountains of 3000m. The landscape is scrotumtightening!

In Ouix finally stopped the truck. I take the motorway to Torino , some 70-80km. This experiment one of the most incredible feeling to drive a car, going through tunnels several miles long for more than 25-30 km, with a height of 4 to 5%. It was like being down a tunnel to the water park for more than half an hour. The car was alone, I did not accelerate, the engine brake to not pack me!.

Finally, after 11 hours ....... Torino !. But that's not the thing to look for the hotel!. Since I have no map of Torino in the GPS, I have to ask. They say that question is going to Rome? since being in Italy ... and here begins a show! ... The first to ask, "excuse! Via Spalato? This sent me to the right, crossing four streets and that's it ... When you get there I find the street, ask another, and tells me that I go backwards, to turn where I came, and 5 traffic lights, which turn right, go right and ask a third party who wonder ... no .. I find that if Rotondi, if destro ... buf, italiani !!... not the room, one that was I said I was downloading at the next roundabout go right ... Well! (I say), I'm !!... NO ... there it was! Start circling the area until the fifth wonder, and finally give to the street.

Via Spalato Seeing I almost feel something, and had spent over half an hour walking around, when I see the hotel ... Ostia if the street is cut here! I can not go !!... I start from laughter!

think: "Well, I turn to the street ... it sends me through a tunnel, so that now the hotel had it up, lol ... back to go around and I find a park .. . BUT HOW TO GET TO THE P. .. HOTEL !!!... !!... finally find him and get to the room at 7 pm! dust echo!

The ho tel is chosen San Paolo, 3 stars, pretty good: good price, good hotel and good communications.

Half an hour later, once rested (hahaha), I decided to go downtown Torino for dinner. The hotel is in the industrial area (all industrial Turin is less than the center), but has a bus and tram stop right outside. If you take the tram 15 will leave in the same piazza Castello (in the center). Upon entering the tram I give the conductor a ticket to pay for the trip and I said no, that does not have ticket ...??? Overall, I'm free. I look at people and nobody pays or do anything, just go in and out ... will be free?? Fuck, how nice!

once in the piazza give me a ride, piazza Castello, Via Garibaldi (wide pedestrian street with shops, all closed at 8 pm) and I realize that there is nobody on the streets. ..? where is the people? ... I have dinner in the same piazza Foccaceria (about 9 euros for two pieces of focaccia and a coca-cola), and go to the hotel, dust echo. Before taking the tram asked some ladies, and tell me you need to buy a bond or tiket. I wonder where they buy, and as there is nowhere to buy tikets, one of them gives me one of their one euro was worth ... I say that when entering the tram I have to chop the tiket, and so do ... but I notice that people who enter any bites at all ... hell, how rare is this!

Day 2 Torino

Around 10 I go walking to Piazza Castello , where the night had earlier been a point of information and discounts to museums. From the hotel to the Piazza did not take more than 40 minutes. I'm surprised that since Via Cernaia to Piazza Castello (about 1 km ) you walk by a wide galleries filled with shops, which do much sun or rain, you can stroll through Torino. Then I realized that followed to the river Po, about 500 m more ... even had to cross many streets also had roof.

Arriving at Piazza Castello, there is a point of information. For 20 € you for 2 days (48 hours) entry to all museums of Turin and the Piedmont area (about 170 museums in all), and free bus and tram, UN CHOLLAZO!. So at ataqueeeer!.

I

From Piazza Castello to Piazza Carignano down until Egyptian Museum. The truth is I do not see a lot of grace to the Egyptian Museum in Torino (I prefer to see one in Egypt) but as the green guide ponia 3 stars for coming! ... AWESOME! museum piece! I like much more than the British Museum! is one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities in the world ... how sad that is all that there and not in Egypt ... it needs at least 1 ½ hours to view more or less!. The museum

I the Church San Filippo Neri , which is right in front ... is Very nice!

Leaving right and down is the Piazza San Carlo ... Huge!. As I was tired and had a terrace, because I think ... THE !!... Vermout a coke and chips prices !!... Seeing asked Coca-Cola 5.50 euros for shame ...! !, the first dunk!. Certainly the drink called "vermouth" was invented in Torino, as the Nutella ! THAT GREAT CITY! Hahaha.

In Piazza San Carlo climb back to Piazza Castello, where I see the Armeria Reale : A lot of armor, spears, guns, bayonets ... I came because he had a collection ponia currency, but soon! not bad, but does not kill the museum.

From there go right up to the monument representative of Torino, Mole Antonelliana, of 167 meters high, spectacular!. Inside is the Museo del Cinema , unique in the world, the truth is that is amazing! another hour and a half to see it! I took pictures to the layer of superman, a gremlin, to film scenes ... very cute!

Leaving there were already 3 in the afternoon, as I did not see anything interesting, I went to the restaurant and most international of all you can eat when you feel like, THE MCDONALDS! It's in the same piazza Castello.

After lunch I go to the right for Via Po until the river of the same name ... PO!. views on the bridge are beautiful.

I cross the bridge and head to Monte dei Cappucini . Before I start up a chat with an old man there who told me the story of FIAT. The car brand Turin is genuine and has a factory there. Man, 82, had worked more than 30 years on it and it said that the Americans had bought, which is not Italian. Top of Mount

I have a stunning view of Turin and the Alps in the background (sorry for the clouds). There is the Museo Nazionale della montagna Duca Degli Abruzzi , a museum dedicated to the Alps, climbing expedition italianosramientas ... As free as I go, lol ... Not bad, but not kill, and you can not do photos ... do not know why if there is anything there that could get damaged ...

piazza Castello Del Monte again, about 30 minutes walk to catch the tram to the hotel. It's 7 pm and legs do not respond!.


Day 3

Torino-Milan

From Torino to Milan you in half an hour, for freeways most exact. I left Turin on 10 and was hotel in Milan on 12. The hotel, the Calypso , 1 Star, was the most cumbersome nunca.Cuando who had been the owner (with shirt empire, which reminded one of "The Godfather") gives me the keys and go up stairs, begins to play in a TV music from Psycho, the shower scene ... I swear!! buenisimo! After I met him, and his wife, a true "Italian mamma," and were Majis. Just for that, and worth staying there!

From 12 am to 7 pm I went through everything I could to Milan. Walk to the Duomo hotel had about 45 minutes, so I was kicking me there. First I stopped at a ponia restaurant menu at 10 €. Entering was full of hard workers, so I hit full! and eat decently (at last), a risotto, a dish of meat with sauce, and salad ... all very good and I put up the final comer.Al ears out for 13.5 € because they charge you the cover and the drink, but not bad. The restaurant

museum pimer I meet, the Museo de Milan Natural History, a collection of minerals, animals, insects, fossils and other awesome! 3 €.

From there to Piazza San Babila and the pedestrian street Vittorio Emanuele II, with plenty of shops of the best brands. And at the end of the street ......... THE DUOMO! Bufff ... ... impress him! The Piazza del Duomo is also enormous.

On the right there are galleries, shops super exclusive Mercedes Benz (clothing, accessories ...), Louis Vuitton, Prada, Guggi (authentic Gucci bags, lol), and of course, McDonalds!. From there Piaz za of the Scala and under to take Via Dante (for pedestrians, with restaurants and most shops), up to the Castello Sforcesco (well, not kill, the truth). Behind del Castello is a beautiful park, and the left is the Triennale of Milan , where a collection of art and design in Milan, quite interesting to watch.

Sold me back to the hotel by metro, and near it myself as my first Italian pizza, a "cuattro stagioni" buenisima!


Day 4

Lago di Como and Milan Shopping

Since I had more desire to kick for Milan, I decided to go see the Lago di Como , which is about 70km from the city. It is a lake in the form of an inverted, at the foot of the Alps. There is a very narrow road that runs around the lake and that's what I did, walk around the lake on this road. I started from As to the right. The views are really cool, it's a very nice area with nice houses on the banks of the lake, others that tuck in the mountains, small villages and some a little more travel. The problem there is the parking lot, as it was nearly impossible to stop anywhere, and where you could do it was too far or did not see anything.

Halfway

in Leco, I stop to take a cappuccino and relax a little. The tour around the lake I do it in about 4 hours. I still can not explain how I survived my mirrors for the narrow streets of two ways: S. If someone opened the door of a house and looked out, I tell you what I had to go.

Back to Milan I go to the shopping area around the Duomo and make a few purchases in the street Vittorio Emanuele II.



DAY 5

Milan - Fiesch (Switzerland)

I leave Milan about 9 am direction nord west by the highway. Up to Fiesch takes about 5 hours, tending some orientation problems in Brig , about 30Km from Fiesch.


About 14:00 I arrive at the hotel, the Hotel Park of 3 stars. The price is right for Switzerland, although as Milan's room, the bathroom was shared. I recommend this hotel only for the fact that I had some problems (credit card) and the landlady gave me a hand. They were also very attentive.

Once eaten, and after resting, I decide take a stroll through the village.


As is small and I wanted to walk (after all car), I wear hiking boots and make a little tour of the surrounding villages : Niederemen and Ernen . The latter is very nice, and although the route is small, has a good slope, and within half an hour and had climbed about 150m of vertical. After doing a lot of pictures (the scenery is spectacular), I go to the hotel to rest. The next day they had the highlight of the trip ...



DAY 6


Fiesch-Fiescheralp-Eggishorm

Aletsch Glacier


I wake up early , around 7 am, and weather forecasts had not failed: it rained pretty and had a thick fog. So, resigned, hoping to improve a little time, and seeing that he could do it planned routes I go to bed.

At 9:00 I get up and time is more or less the same, although a bit less fog, but also still not see the mountains ...


Because I was not willing to lose the opportunity to see the longest glacier in Europe, a world heritage site, the Aletsch Glacier of 23Km long, 1km wide and half points more than 900m depth, I decide to go to the funicular up from Fiesch (1100m) to Fiescheralp (2200) and then another funicular up to Eggishorn (2900m), where there are spectacular views of the glacier and several hiking trails .


In Fiesch buy the tiket Fiesch-Fiescheralp-Eggishorn, round, for about 48 Swiss francs (about 35 €), and from there, at one point saw the temperatutas information at each station and live images. In Fiesch estámabos to 14 ° in Fiescheralp to 6 ° and 0 ° Eggishorn, and snowing! ... There was a thick fog that you could not see much, but I decide to go.

You go up soon and we went only 6 people Fiescheralp (the funicular is for about 48 people) and only 4 to Eggishorn.


Once there, it's snowing, but not windy and the wind chill is not very cold. The fog obscures nothing, so I start to think that I can not see the glacier ... Be there and expect a clear day the view must be of the most spectacular that can be given a lot of anger.

As I do not want to give up, try to raise about 500m and 100 of elevation to be able to reach the top of the Eggishorn, at 2986m, but the snow did not stop and desist.

Resigned decide to go to the only stand there for a drink up there, and take a coffee with the idea of \u200b\u200bspending some time there and if you follow all the same, down ...

Asking coffee, a "coffee latte," the waiter who had there (the only person who was working up there), I said: "With milk ?.... When asked if he knew English, I said the guy who is in Jaen , hahaha ... great!. As we are alone, we throw more than an hour of talk and worked the miracle snow stopped and the fog was gone in part with what I had before my eyes the glacier ... I can only say: AWESOME!


truce take that little time to try uploading the Eggishorn, and with it, takes 2 minor slips. The pictures up there speak for themselves, and pity was not able to see the peaks that stood before me, on the other side of the glacier: The Jungfrau , The Aletschhorn ... summits over 4000m.


Back to the shelter with the de Jaen, I took a Swiss soup warm and very good. After another time to talk and as he had relocated to snow, I get off to the hotel about 4 pm.

At 7 pm stay with Juan Francisco, (the waiter at Jaen), and I drove to Brig , and teaches me a little small town, very nice and quiet. After a beer and some wine in Fiesch, we said goodbye.



DAY 7


Fiesch - BCN


Around, as usual, is the worst. From Fiesch to Barcelona takes about 11 hours, combining highways with roads, but if you can, do it all on the motorway. I tried to save some tolls and also thinking that could address a little but I was wrong.

I chose

to go from Fiesch to Martigny, and then take a high school until Chamonix. From there a secondary to Albertville. Just to say that although the landscapes are amazing, especially glaciers at Chamonix and Mont Blanc , the route is very slow, with caravans and cars in many places ranging 40 or 50 km / h ...

Arriving in Albertville and tired, all the rest of the journey was by road: Grenoble, Valence , Nimes, Montpellier, border, and BCN Girona.
