Goodbye Pontremoli - Hello Alba & Torino

Finished packing at the hotel and met William again for some more viewing. 3 more properties at Villafranca & Mulazzo.
Returned to Virgoletta for second look at apartment - good as the first time.
Drove up to Torino stopping at Alba for lunch/afternoon tea. Were impressed with Alba - some great food shops. Had a beautiful glass of Asti Spumante Brut - nothing at all like the fizzy pop we've had in the past.
Visited a great truffle shop (Tartufi) and bought some bits and pieces. The lady was very friendly - her husband is president of the Italian Truffle association. An invitation to go truffling in October is open!
Short drive up to Torino and no problems finding hotel (Urbani) - although it was difficult to park. Dinner at a local restaurant.
