Before the trip to "stages", added a little 'later, the route starts from my place of residence ... Bologna, where he still resists some hot hood, in the center is still coming and going of cars, but the colors are already summer ... well organized, with a piece of bookings between hotels.com and booking.com , the first is based on the prepayment of the hotel, the second is the credit card is only to guarantee the reservation.
To some extent 'on the offers we found, in general there are always small hotels.com up 10 to 15% discounts on various sites is not difficult to find them, compensate a bit' with fees and commission charges on your credit card. Instead on the booking fee is made directly from the hotel, and since there is nothing to pay, at least to my knowledge, there is no way to get discounts or special bazzo.
Once used venere.com , I left with a few regrets: there was no sign in the booking list (I'm talking about July 2009) if I had shown a particular time of arrival. This has been a source of problems: it happened (and, sooner or later it happens to everyone) that a structure had not check-in is always open, and they had this information in the spreadsheet, I do not and I do not remember what I had put in when making a reservation. So there is the possibility with that site to have a mismatch between the structure and customer information, never again!
There is little money available, as always, so you try to save where possible.
For example, when arriving in Turin, I will go to the Mole , so I scoured through Google Satellite Maps version where there are no stripes Blue "or do not have to pay. I go on Corso Regina Margherita, one that runs along the Dora Riparia , near the police station, park free. 700 meters on foot and are in a row under the sun, in front of the bar and piadineria that there is little in the pedestrian zone of Via Montebello. Fila? Yes, there is Free entry to, is the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema , the old folks are knowledgeable, read "La Stampa" imagine if you do miss a visit to latch. I also read the website, not I chose at random. Ok, are on vacation! I have to do? And within 40 minutes. Now I get in line for the elevator, the one that leads to the rooftop terrace. Other 35 minutes and are on top enjoying the view. The city is modern, the Alps in the summer you see a little hood. There are some kind of amazing sights to see, but the elevator itself is so cool, transparent, suspended in the void of the dome. The MNC is little planning, more accessible to families, a kind of "theme park" of Italian cinema. Since the dawn today, original clothing, photographs and film to be enjoyed in internal sofas with the headrest speakers, so as not to disturb others, someone in my drowsy as well.
After the tour, we begin the trend of hotel accommodation in: to minimize the meals at the restaurant, we do not go exactly in cheap places. Then he enters the binomial "Gypsy" sandwiches + beers to the market, coffee, candy cake, fruit juice packages (the "suck" we had in the backpack in elementary school!), Sugar sachets type bar, cutlery roll of "paper towels, detergent, sponge, you can also find excellent meals caterers. Maximum respect to who carries well mocha with electric stove, at least in respect for those who want to leave feeling good and is quite at home among its amenities. A little 'respect for everyone, even for those of Expedia, which I moved at the last minute the hotel (the hotel has no availability ...) and send me a ridiculous price in a real palace, a few steps from Porta Susa station!
The next day, a princely breakfast, we load the springs for a visit to GAM . Reopened recently, in a residential area of \u200b\u200bTurin, surrounded by dear strips blue, for those planning a visit to Gypsy, if you are alone, you better take the bus. Very rich collection, have divided the exhibition into two floors, each floor divided into two themed areas: View, Children, Gender, Mirror. They are recognizable by the color of the walls. All in chronological order, near the entrance door of the older works (end 800) to the most recent, really original.
E 'frequented by tourists in summer and a few fans, maybe it is morning, the area is deserted, and it is easier to get around in the wide spaces. On the first floor have made a " wunderkammer " I saw one original Innsbruck. Here is an environment harvest, dim lights, to see a "temporary" and other works of delicate watercolors. I see the works of Fontanesi, in the room there are two armchairs, the catalog to browse popular and classical music.
the basement there is a video library, all in digital, you armed with headphones and the computer has software loaded that makes you navigate the archives. I shot two interviews, and Carrà Casorati, just to see what kind they were! Also located in the basement
place a temporary exhibition, Underground Project, is when I step in Mimesis Permanent exhibition of various contemporary, not saying much, seems a bit 'desert, there are 4 guardiasala telling the evenings that make living in Turin, is perhaps not the most attractive to visitors.
the afternoon lunch at motorway service stations, the journey to Switzerland . I stop to Aosta, under the Alps to find the last LPG dispenser, one of those shady close to shopping centers, which fortunately is open to 17.30 on a weekday (you never know), then save 20 € mica do the tunnel of the Great St. Bernard, I pace. A street full of terrific work in progress, potholes, gravel, hairpin bends with sheer 400 meters further down, traffic lights that make sense only alternative. At the top there are not even dogs , Boh? The frontier is empty, all closed. Luckily, it will always be from now on, as do stories on the stamps for an extension of the identity cards Italian ... you send back saying "expired". I look terrible in the shop of a Swiss pass, I ask the sticker for the highway, tells me 30 € or 40 francs. € 1 peak, Vala me the coffee I drink it ... arrival in Martigny , I taking ATMs Swiss francs, which is better. Arrival in Freiburg
that there is still light, are the 21, I find the 'Ibis that I booked on their site taking advantage of a super price summer, and not less than the room cost me 72 € or so, one of the most expensive ever I found, which has the miss breakfast included, that if you want 13 euro per person. The overnight stays in Switzerland to avoid if you can. Ride to Freiburg, maybe we see something, stain begins to rain and we are hungry, where you going? Near the hotel, McDonald's is the only thing open. It is once a year, the sandwich has 40 thousand calories, it does not digest until the next day. You'd better take the sandwich to coop (the UK!) Or Migros, certainly healthier.
Bern is near, we arrived and parked at the "Park + Ride " to Neufeld, the most cheaper and faster to park. It 'just outside the exit of the motorway Neufeld A1, 2 francs per hour, maximum daily rate at 15 francs. Keep in mind that Switzerland is famous for its parking fee, and the rigidity of the prohibitions on stopping, seek to discourage car use in any way (and do well). And then the ticket is valid for one trip and return with the number 11 bus terminus which is up there in front of Central Station (Hauptbahnhof, you can see from the window after about 5 minutes travel time). From there, the center is very close walking distance. Only thing is written all in German, nor anything in English nor in French, so you have to juggle and ask some soul a translation.
The visit includes the city, charming, very touristy, with the megaport beside the main road, orologione, bears , the carriages with the horses, the river Aare , all very idyllic, even the landscape is not marred by ugly buildings or factories that are seen in other Swiss cities. Bern is the capital, in short, keep us. At the Kunstmuseum
understand a little 'culture here that if they charge, tickets for admission to museums are above 10 € everywhere. They do not even give me the receipt, only to put the pin in the shirt, obviously I will need after to prove that I paid: thank goodness people are not too eager beaks (and we're in Switzerland).
There is also the line to enter, in an anonymous noon on a Thursday any business. The collection arranged on 3 floors, very efficient, in a few minutes one can sense that they really have the money, there is a monograph of the Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones , rich in works from everywhere, only and exclusively his works, His is the only one not her portrait, located as you enter, a little 'as the lower floor of the temporary monographic Swiss Anker.
I remember a nasty habit of selling out shows Italian "and SCHIELE his time "GOYA and the modern world." At least for what the Swiss are powerful. Above the permanent collection, Sammlung in German, in addition to something Hodler (but there I expect) found cut up in many microsale works of Klee, Mondrian, Beuys, Picasso, Modigliani, Kirschner, Matisse.
From here (heheh) behind a door starts exposure of Do not Look Now ", the part of the ultra-contemporary museum. First taste of how the Swiss do not fossilize on collections that have already, but continues to expand. Certainly not the Uffizi, but also some in the basement crust Duccio , which attracts the Boche like bees to honey, ah, wonderful!
Afternoon of variable weather, walking toward the Zentrum Paul Klee , since we have the machine in a safe place ... It takes 25 minutes of walking, but it's worth it because it passes the panoramic Rosengarten, the bar is filled up with people, will be full of money because a small beer costs 5 €! I can not find not even a Pakis or someone with a Feldschlösschen ice. Patience.
The structure designed by Renzo Piano is something unique if you are interested in architecture. There are three buildings with a structure to "wave" mesh, built behind a hill, almost "disappeared" in the meadow above. E 'collection center museum dedicated to one of the most famous artists in the world Bern, Paul Klee . We held to celebrate it, and how!
The collection is vast, so what do they do? Reorganization, thematically, from time to time. When I later there is a temporal comparison with Picasso. Two artists at the antipodes, inside's like being in a sports hall designed by a drunk, with a roof "mushroom", so are the views from the inside. Basically they took a few meetings that have taken each other, they have made to provide some work and have set up the exhibition.
get expensive if you do not have reductions or more are 25 francs (18 euro) per person! And Fortunately if you have proof of admission to the Kunstmuseum make a super price of 7 francs, stuff not written on the site, and I understand that in Switzerland you should ask your receipt whenever you pay money, the seller is not obliged to deliver it. Son then 'Means your ...
