Egyptian Museum


This morning Momochan and I will got o the Egyptian Museum in Turin where there is a special exhibition calledd The Immortals about ancient egiptians.
Fot tat purpose, we have waked up early, showered and dressed and gone for breakfast: I have to say breakfast was a nice sourprise except for the coffee which i guess was barley coffee, food was fresh and tasty, orange juice, bacon, hard boiledd eggs or scrambled eggs, toast, butter and various marmelades, fresh croissants, bread, various types of corn flakes, fruit salad ...
Momochann and I have tried everything (so we will not have to spend money for lunch and can wait until this evening at home).
After breakfast wee have returned to our room and have packed our belongings, we have come down to the reception to pay and have gone to the car to put the suitcases in the trunk.
The Egyptian Museum is just 20 minutes from the hotel but is best for us to go with the car so that when we come out wee are already near and can leave for home.

a day in Zoom Torino ;)


This morning Momochan and I leave home to go to Turin city. We want to have a small vacation and for that purpose I have booked a hotel in the center and bought a special packet that includes tickets for biopark and a night in the hotel, brakfast included, just the time to wake up, shower, dress and take the bagage and we are on the way ;)
After 50 km more or less we have a pit stop for coffee and Momochan orders a cup of milk, guess she tries to look like me.
In a little more than 90 minutes we arrive in Turin city, is nearly midday, we have to go hotel first to take the Zoom Biopark tickets.
Really Momochan is always like she is always in a hurry, she likes the animals but what she want most is to go to the Bolder beach pool but I have said her will we go to the pool only after having seen all the biopark and in a nervous moment she burst into tears, she is tired and hot does not help much.
As soon as we enter we see a strange thing: the cemetery of the extincted animals: dodo, some tigers and lions and some kind of bears.

Before going further we find a place where to stop and eat (is nearly 13.30 PM) other people with kids are eating already their pic nics foods.
Bolder Beach is just 20 meters from there and we can see ... but wee have to see the rest of the park or we will not be able to see after so Momochan starts to run to make quick. A funny lemuri  runs quickly in front of us and start to jump from a group of people to another then jumps into the little green forest of his place, Momochan laugh amused. Theese little penguins are very small but they are very quick when they swim, they look like missiles but when they are outside of water they are very funny and walk making little jumps bouncing here and there.
After returning a second time near lemuri, we finally succeed in seeing the black monkeys, when we apssed before, the monkeys were playing in the middle of the bamboos and we could not see also they have a dark colour so that in the shadow they literally disappear.

a day in Zoom Torino (follows)


Inside the space of the pool we cannot take anything so we discover we have a big problem: there are no cabinets to put our belongings beacuse there are too many people in the pool and cabinets have finished !!! GOSH
We walk a little around, Momochan wants to go to the pool, we have already weared our beach wear and is very hot but I absolutely cannot leave my bag and belongings but wee are finally lucky, a family is going away, they are in the changing room and we ask them if they can give us the key of the cabinet, it is ok for them so we go togather to the lady of the changing roomto tell we take the key, Momochan is soooo happy !
In a few seconds we are inside the water and is so nice, at the opposite side of the pool there is a big glass through wich we can see the penguins swim YEEEEEEEEE all the kids are laughing and jumping, Momochan amuses so much.
As we cannot take anything in the pool space is impossibile to take the camera so we have no fotos. At 17.30 more or less I start to freeze, it is still hot but not so much, my skin seems the one of the chiken so I tell Momo we have to get out and I propose her to have a ice cream, I need a big coffee ;)


As soon as we return to the cabinets and changing place I discover we have a big problem: when we came at the pool we took away our dresses and I put our underpnats and Momo t-shirt inside a sack, I had thought I had taken some fresh changing but instead I left in the car so now Momochan does not have any underpants nor t-shirt and me, I dont have undergarment either so we have to dry a little the swimsuit and wear again, I have my short pants and Momo either, I give her my little dress and make a knot to make it shorter, when wee will reach the car I will give her a fresh t-shirt from the suitcase :)
Now that we have solved the situation Momochan is happy, we go to the coffee corner and I buy a coffee and an ice cream for her, we also meet new possibile friends and togather with the other kids Momochan runs on the meadow after the peacocks ;)
Park is closing so we get out and we direct to the car, I open the trunk and get Momichan a fresh t-shirt so I can have my dress again, we have to go McDonalds and Momo is happy because she loves the nuggets and the fries.
We are tired and as the McDonalds is near the hotel in 30 minutes we are already back in the room, we make a shower and put the pijamas, I light the tv on and let Momochan watch cartoons but in a few seconds she call me urgently: maybe she hass eaten too much or she is tootired or maybe is the air conditioned in the hotel, I do not know but Momochan throws the dinner up ..... poor baby !
I wash her face and give her her her plush cat, put again inside the bed and in a few moments she fall asleep, tomorrow we have to go to the Egyptian Museum and we we'll have breakfast in the hotel before ;)
