Exploring Turin 🇮🇹 on Brompton - Salsa Surprise! | Eurovelo 8 | S1-E16

In this video, you will join me along an exciting eurovelo 8 bikepacking trip as...

I was hopping on my trusty Brompton, minus the usual luggage weight, I was blown away by its newfound agility. Every pedal stroke was a burst of fun as I zipped through the bustling streets.

And what streets they were! Turin's city center was alive, overflowing with laughter and chatter from people spilling out of cafes and restaurants.

Just when I thought the surprises were done, I stumbled upon a sight that stopped me in my tracks: a salsa festival in full swing, a fiesta of local Peruvian community swaying to the rhythm of Casino Rueda. Talk about unexpected cultural immersion!

My stomach, however, began to rumble, pulling me away from the dancing frenzy. McDonald's beckoned, a familiar comfort. But alas, Italian McDonald's just don't cut it. High prices and a sad excuse for a ham and cheese bun left me feeling disappointed. Defeated, I turned my wheels towards the river, hoping for better luck. And then, it happened. My favorite house music tune, floating across the water, drew me to stop and listen.

Still hungry, I ended up at the ever-reliable Burger King, which delivered its usual: a big, satisfying burger and decent fries, all at a reasonable price.

Back in my hotel, my head buzzed with the day's experiences. The grueling bike ride, the surprising lightness of my Brompton, the salsa explosion, the McDonald's letdown, the club's musical rescue, and finally, the burger king's salvation.

Thank you for following my adventure!
