Road trippin’ along the Italian and French Riviera with my exquisite travel chef Natalie and of course George, the best camping car ever
It took us from Torino southwards over Asti to Savona and from there all the way along the Mediterranean coast: Sanremo, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Tropez to Hyères, where we stopped for a few days with strong winds and awesome kiteboarding sessions.
Check out the pictures in my Picasa Gallery.
Torino – the business and cultural center of Northern Italy. Capital of the Piedmont, right next to the Po river and surrounded by the Alps. Famous for chocolate, film art and Italian suits. It’s hosts the headquarters of Fiat (Italian car company) and many aerospace companies. Whoever thought Torino is an ugly industrial city check out these pictures in my Picasa Gallery.
After having an awesome time in Switzerland we decided to continue towards Italy. To get there we’ve to cross the Alps via the Great St Bernard Pass, which is the most ancient pass in the Western Alps. It takes course basically from Lausanne (Lake Geneva) in Switzerland all the way through the Aosta Valley (Italy) until it reaches Torino. It is famous for the St. Bernard dog, which was bread and trained to find and rescue lost mountaineers in avalanches.
