Road Walk... Summer 2024... Somewhere in Italy...

It's time to go back in history and do the road trip again... At least through photos, as this year, we will skip the road and fly away instead! Just a short introduction... The last few years, my family would do yearly trips to our hometown, travelling by car... The whole trip is around 2500km long, which means that we have to split it for at least 3 days... During those 3 days on the road, we are visiting at least 2 cities (where we sleep), and multiple gas stations/resting areas on the road... When I was younger, I could drive multiple hours without stopping (my record was over 8-9 hours), but lately, I try to take breaks at least every 2 hours...

This is a story about one of those stops at the gas station... I have no idea where it was exactly, but I know it was in Italy (the text is in Italian 🙄... well done Sherlock 😂)... Oh, I know the exact time, it was on August 20th, 2024 (thanks ImageData! 😃)! Perfect for a #TBF post!

This petrol station is one of those that are available on both sides of the highway, and sometimes, they are connected with a walking bridge... I suppose it's interesting and entertaining for kids (and not just them 😃) to watch vehicles passing under their feet...

Also, this place had a huge restaurant where you could choose between different dishes! Even at a gas station, Italian food tastes awesome! I have to say that I can't remember the time when it went wrong ordering food in Italy... We had bad experiences a couple of times in France, but in Italy, never!

If you got your belly filled with food, no worries, you don't have to take the stairs to get back to your car to continue your travel to Milano... You can take an elevator! 😃 We were joking that if you enter that elevator, it will take you right to the center of Milano... 😃

If you are curious about prices in the restaurant, you can check out the menu!

Going back downstairs leads to the supermarket where you can buy whatever you need to continue your journey, food, drinks, and a lot of local souvenirs!

Good buy, La Fucina! See you maybe somewhere in the future...

The last two photos were taken in the hotel room, in France... For those who are a bit "older", this will be an easy task to recognize the (series of) movies... 😂 I remember when I was a kid, these were the favorite movies of my parent, and especially my grandparents who lived a couple of years in Paris!

When you are in France, you have to "consume" French things... Even movies...

So, did you guess? Which movie was on TV?

Thank you for your valuable time.
