There is no life that does not have a price. In the heart of milan italy is one of the most prestigious Shopping Streets in the world. To step through the heavy glass doors means crossing the border from the ordinary, and the mundane, into luxury, privilege, and glamour. Really, it is the world that so many people aspired to live in. Once upon a time, just a few blocks from this Fairytale World Of Gold Fringed dresses and thousand dollar handbags, Haute Couture gave live to hatred. Beauty became betrayal.

up here, it s peaceful. the views, you don t get this out of a aeroplane window. hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from switzerland or, more specifically, the international balloon festival in the swiss alps. we ll be taking a bird s eye perspective on that later on. but in the meantime, let s head to zurich for something a little more underground. i m on a journey from switzerland s capital, beginning with a drive two hours south west, because i ve heard that all around this country is a vast network of bunkers some of which are open for travellers to explore. among them are old military forts, which you can still see hidden in the mountainside. glorious view. ..if you have a sharp eye. so, i ve been given a pin that tells me that there s a bunker basically here, somewhere. it s camouflaged. so, there s going to be a trick actually finding it. i mean, this stretch of mountainside just does look like every other stretch of mountainside for mile
