We are waiting to finish with the washing experience and then we will drive 20 minutes to a nearby town called Oulx, that has a larger market to buy a few more serious things, such as sausage meat such as salami or ham to put on bread and butter, also some cheese and pasta to make a pasta dish with. Maybe some veggies to make a good soup with, etc.
Well it looks like that this trip has to wait until tomorrow because the laundry operation has taken too long and the store on Oulx will be closing in about an hour and a half, don't want to take a chance of finding it closed when we get there.
Thanks to the TOMTOM GPS, to get us here, sure I drove like an Italian, zooming along with all that traffic but that was because Geneva and her trusty GPS guiding me, I had to watch the traffic and the roads.
Wifi is strong in the lobby, and charging our devices is no problem if you have the right plug-ins for the Italian/European wall outlets. Everything else here is very limited, power for the laundry goes off at 9pm, radiating heat in the apartments comes on only between 7 and 9pm, desk service, she is only there in the morning and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. After all, this is billed as a Winter Wonderland, and it's now OFF-SEASON. That suits us just fine, and it only costs us 4K in credits and a $199. one time transfer fee, transferring credits from World Mark to RCI, for one week, 6 days/nights.
Laundry all done, cost, just for the soap, €1.
We are going out for pizza, which we didn't get last nite, and on the short drive into town we picked up a few more things we will need for b'fast tomorrow morning, at our little Jolly Market.
Just came back from a very nice pizza dinner. The fog was covering the road to our little town, a less than 10 minute drive thru thick fog. But we had a very good tasting Primavera pizza, thin crust with cheese, garlic, tomatoes and fresh basil and we shared a small carafe of red house wine. The pizza was big enough for two, €19. including tip. This was our second and final meal, we had fresh bread and butter with coffee during the day.
Waking up this morning, Thursday, and looking out of the window, the place is totally socked in ! We slept in these great bunk beds in a separate area, because we wanted to have the closed sofa-bed to sit on during the day.

I hope the fog lifted where you are at, .., the weather her is cloudy but not cool, just right, around 68 degrees, the princess is rather jumpy today, and scooted off when she thought I was approaching her when I served lunch, ..., I think she is rather indignant about being cared for by a lowly captain, when she is accustomed to have generals and admirals bow to her.
