It's been a busy day in Torino....forgot how hard it was being a tourist!
1st stop--the Royal Palace and Armory
I would hate to feed all the people this table would hold and there were so many dishes, glasses and piece of silverware that even the best trained would get confused in ettiquette.
This is the ballroom...they must have been very short. If I had been in high heels at a ball here, my head would be in the chandelier.
2nd stop--The Mole and Cinema Museum
Took the glass elevator to the top to get a beautiful view of Torino!
Inside the Mole (symbol of the city) s one of the largest collections of movie props, and artifacts from the film industry.
*these pictures are very dark because in the center of the building, you could kick bck in recliners nc watch old black and white silent films.
3rd stop--Hours of riding the open top city sight seeing bus
Blue tunnel (in center of photgraph) is where cars are brought for wind tunnel testing to calculate their coefficient of drag. Torino is home of the Fiat!
Roads were built over train tracks and in order to mark the prior existence of the track, the light lines and poles mimic the lives and poles used for trains.
