Day 65: the Egyptian museum and Turin by night
Today Gianni takes us around turin to see the main city highlights. The snow covered town is lovely. We stop for espresso at one of the top pasticerias in town and it's pretty tops- I know my espressos by now. Then lunch at another family's house which is fantastic of course- highlight is the freshly made donuts!
After lunch we head to the Egyptian museum. Turin is sort of famous for it because it is number two in the world second to the one in Egypt so naturally it's a pretty epic Egyptian museum. There are tombs and mummies still intact and on display. There is even pieces of food still preserved from however long ago it was. The tombs were filled with not only the mummy but also belongings, food, figurines of the dead person and good luck ornaments.
After the museum we went for dinner to a Brazilian bar. We had good seafood again and delish tiramisu and lots of cocktails whilst we listened to a live Brazilian band. There was also a couple delivering Brazilian entertainment. They changed costumes and performed different dances and at the end pulled people up to teach the samba- me unfortunately included... Actually that wasn't so bad but then Giovanni's old friend wanted to dance with me so I had to be turned about and about again and again and get really dizzy for few songs whilst the others watched on in great amusement. And that was our Turin by night tour.
