Today is a national holiday in Italy - Liberation Day.
It marks the end of Nazi occupation at the end of WWII in 1945. It honors those who fought in the Resistance. Although not all cities were liberated on April 25, Turin was, so it means even more here. (Today is also Nick's 45th birthday)
It was another warm and sunny day. We think it got just about to 80 degrees. We ate in the downstairs restaurant, which is included in the price of 25 Matteoti. (250 Euros for the 3 nights, so..very reasonable)
We walked to the Egyptian Museum, said to be second in the world to the one in Cairo. We had headphones and programmed them to the 150 minute tour. The museum tour covered three floors, mostly in chronological order. It was quite crowded because of it being a national holiday, but manageable. We spent a few hours there. Not surprisingly, we were pretty tired by the last floor.
Afterwards we went back to the SushiSun restaurant where we had lunch two days ago and had more all-you-can eat sushi. We texted back and forth with Nick and David, both of whom love sushi. We chatted with an American who is doing a semester in Milan which was nice.
Afterwards, we wandered home and bought a roller bag so that we can check some luggage on the way home and so we have some room to buy some presents along the way.
Barbara still has a very sore throat and we wandered without success to find a pharmacy open so that she could get some cough medicine.
