We arrived last night after once again getting on the wrong train at Turin to be greated by Sineads Uncle Fergus,

It was lovely to be welcomed into a family home after so long in hostels. We met Ti Fergus and Christinas son who is a little bottle of pop and has more energy than us all put together. We enjoyed Pizza on the balcony before getting a really fab nights sleep.

Today we decided to wander around Turin doing a bit of shopping, Sinead particularly enjoyed this becuase she was able to get money out for the first time in a week. Unfortunatly we rather overestimated the italian weather and on the way back to the appartement we were caught in the most terrible storm with hail stones and everything. I was soaked to the bone and freezing, but i can no see the funny side of it.

Turin itself is quite like Paris with wide streets and lots of posh shops, however it has a beautiful river and park and is surrounded by hills, hope to see mroe fo it tomorrow.
