As we hit the road Duccio turns to tell me that the first hour is kind of boring and flat. That's ok. I've only been in Italy for 5 days and everything will be new for me. It's 12 degrees Celcius. We get moving on the two lane roads. We're averaging a smooth 120kph. As the sun rises higher over my shoulder, I see the light reflecting off of the many apple and kiwi orchards. There's also corn, rice, and grapes. We pass Saluzzo. Then we soon reach Cuneo.
