Alausi - Blogabond

Took the train from Alausi around the Devil's Nose mountain. The mountain is so steep that the train has to perform a series of switchbacks. The views from the top of the train were fantastic and the conductor insisted on checking our tickets whilst stood on top of the train without holding on.

Overlooking the small town is a huge statue of Saint Peter made from mosaic tiles, we were particularly impressed by his massive big toes.
