PISA - GARLENDA- TORINO






After an early rise we took off to the famous leaning tower and had our pictures taken. Entry was made despite the closed road signs !
The Carabinieri were not impressed but did not interfere.
They let us have our day in front of the Leaning Tower.


We left the appropriate oil spils on the pavement and then left for Genua. (Garlenda)










I still did not like the new co-pilot and had him push start me a few times.
The boss then borrowed a new starter motor from Tony and we are flying again without getting Rene out of breath.












Along the coast on the Autostrada to Albenga and then the small town of Garlenda.
Here the FIAT 500 friends of Lang and Bev had put on some festivities.
We paraded behind the local brassband throught the town. All traffic was stopped for the occasion. We caused some exitement with the local traffic.





Then into the FIAT club museum and off to the tennis club for a giant italian meal. The food just kept coming.

Today a run through the hills up to Turin.

The weather is getting warmer and I am running quite a sweat. But a bit of extra water and oil and I am in bussiness. Until the next time.
