Sanremo to Turin

Our last morning in Turin and we again walked past the statue of Mike Bongiorno.

We had no idea who this very cheerful looking chap was, but there was always a queue of ladies of a certain age waiting to get a photo with him.

Not wanting to miss out, we got the shot and then I looked him up. Apparently he was the best ever Italian chat show host.

Mystery solved.

We also popped into a Russian Orthodox Church with the lovely onion domes on the top.

Inside was very peaceful, and right at the top of the highest dome was a stained glass picture of Jesus looking down on us.


In the afternoon we caught a bus to Turin, and after the excitement and busyness of the last few days we decided on a quiet night in.  Turin will be just have to wait until tomorrow morning.
