May 22 - Milan To Turin
We were on another fast train today between Milan and Turin. It took one hour. Our hotel, the Best Western Genio was across the street from the train station making it very easy to find and to tow our luggage. We checked in at the hotel and walked down the street to an ATM and to lunch in an Italian pub. I had tagliatelle with a Bolognese sauce while Ann had a Niçoise salad. An Irish ale for me and white wine for Ann.
We walked back to the train station to see what transportation would be available to get Ann to the airport tomorrow morning. There is an airport bus that runs every 15 minutes. Rather than having a possible hassle with morning buses, we decided that she would take a taxi instead. Besides, we couldn't find the bus stop and it had started to rain.
Back at the hotel, we found my BAC ride leaders and some of the riders on my upcoming bicycle tour of Piedmont.
We went to an early dinner at a forgettable restaurant. Ann's crepe was OK. My veal scallopini was tough and tasteless. The wine made up for it.
