Guinness World Record Holding Pizzaria

Guys, I have just eaten food prepared by the hands of one blessed by the last surviving McWhirter twin – Norris. Sadly now also dead. Not so Carlo the Guinness World’s bets pizza maker.

You can only access this place if you are taken there and introduced to the man himself personally by an equally vitalising human  called Francesco,

Francesco was born in Susa, North Western Italy, He grew up and studied their and became a most famous Lawyer. He climbs incessantly: all of the mountains around Susa but they just weren’t big enough. Ten years ago he also climbed Everest – following in the deformed footsteps of Brian Blessed.

Francesco and his wife also run the best B&B in the Northern Hemisphere – Beauregard B&B. Like Petrocelli, he haas painstakingly created this place up on a hill with own two soft lawyer (and rather lady-like) hands.

Francesco is a legend in Susa and everybody knows him,

My journey to Francesco’s place was not over the Alps (as I was hoping) but under them, or at least some of them, My hopes of making a pass were dashed when Maurice (who runs the second best B&B in the Northern Hemisphere) called around a load of cop shops and they all told him the same thing “Ze pass, eeet iz closed” because they were French of course. I’m too early in the year and too far North… even some of the major roads are closed.

So I stayed on the big road and took the tunnel to Italy from Chambery. However that is not to say it wasn’t spectacular.

On the way I managed to get some helmet cam action too.

It has been the most gorgeous sunny day and after much planning and aborting due to road closures I have found a twisty road back OVER the Alps that will take me to GAP (not Gay And Proud) but the pen ultimate stop on Route Napoleon and from there I will follow his famous route in reverse – South towards the Riviera almost as far as Cannes!

I realise that I still have some bloggaps to fill but darn it, wait for them.
