After a few days regrouping (oh, and researching of course) in Turin, we’re hitting the road again this week in Northern Italy, to explore the country’s beautiful lakes, mountains, valleys, and vineyards, as part of our guidebook research. While we’re staying in some exquisite hotels, unfortunately they don’t always have great internet access – even when their websites say they do! – so if you don’t hear from me, you know where I am. I’ll get back to you with some more tales from the road and give you more of a taste of our experience of Italy as soon as I can.
