Genova Part II
Sep 28, 2007 (25 photos)

This weekend I went back to Genova with my school group. We took the bus and once there went on a tour of the city. From the pictures you can't tell but the streets of this city are only large enough for about three or four people wide. People ride bikes ...

... , our room was bright orange too. (The marketing team in this company must have some serious clout). Our route was: Monaco, Genoa, Portofino, Imperia, and Nice. Monaco and Nice are in France, the others are in Italy. The boat was really nice; decent ...

Genova
Oct 23, 2008

So this morning we arrived in Genoa (or Genova to be technically correct) instead of our originally planned stop of Monaco. The sea's where incredibly bumpy last night, getting thrown from left to right, and back again, nothing to get sea sick about, ...

Still on the train.....

This train journey has been quite an experience.  Claudia and I boarded the sleeper train at Nice and had hoped for an individual cabin ( 6 seater) by ourselves....unfortunately this was not to be. We ended up having to share with an old Italian ...

Our second trip out of Torino was awesome! We took the train on Friday to Genoa/Genova, Italy. It's a larger city on the coast. We got there late at night and took a taxi to our hostel which was very cute with a creepy statue in the entry way. Our night ...

Apartment by the Sea

First Port of Call

This morning we woke up to get ready to go on the Historic Center walking tour of Genoa.  We had a nice breakfast at the buffet and I even found a decaf cappa for breakfast too.  We met in the lounge at 8:45 and got on a little boat in the harbor ...

Former queen of the Mediterranean

... cities of the Cote d'Azur. Architecturally, it's fascinating. Instead of the rather uniform porticoed baroque of Turin, Genoa's buildings are a mix of Gothic and Renaissance buildings, many of which have been left to decay (rather charmingly, actually ...

Europe's Largest Aquarium
Jun 23, 2009 (8 photos)

After five different people giving me five different sets of directions, found my B&B on the 22nd. Cute little place with only a handful of rooms.. and just down the road from everything. Next day hit the aquarium, it put the one I saw in Townsville ...

... a very short entry and isn't a huge jump ahead in time but brings us current. I have completed a safe flight back to Italy.  I was having massive allergy attacks in London my last few days and they have wipped me out completely.  I have rested ...

Jour 39 : Marche et petit tour en bateau
Oct 13, 2008 (8 photos)

Après les copieux déjeûners allemands, suisses et autrichiens, le réveil à Genova est brutal : un petit pain, un minuscule carré de beurre, un cup de confiture (que l'on ne peut pas choisir) et un petit verre de café. Ce repas spartiate fait en sorte non ...

... weekend we went to Genova (the "v" is silent so there is often 2 ways of spelling it - but they are one in the same), Italy and Nice, France. It's so hard to pick a favorite from the two, they were both so incredibly beautiful. We noticed that each had a ...

Under a Ligurian sun
Jun 5, 2007 (3 photos)

We reluctantly (especially the kids) packed our bags and left Laggio, promising to return. Our next stop, Venice, meant a return to an old favourite of Jen's and a new experience of a city on water for the rest of the family. Ben's assessment - old and ...

Grungy and gorgeous Genoa

We had a fantastic apartment in the middle of the old centre of Genoa within easy walking distance of the port.  Pro: Great position and views.  Con: Lots and lots and lots of flights of stairs.  A great feature was the small terrace on ...

Jour 38 (bis) : La mer !
Oct 12, 2008 (3 photos)

Par une température tout à fait parfaite, je redescends vers Pisa Centrale ; il fait même assez chaud, et je regrette de ne pas avoir fait comme hier et mis mes culottes courtes. Rendu à la gare, j'attends le train de 11 heures 44 vers Genova, et je suis dans ...

Getting lost on Buses

We just can’t take it anymore!!

Aquarium in Genoa

We left Milan and headed down the coast to Genoa. Due to our missed train, half of the day was gone by the time we arrived. Luckily our bed for the night was very close to the train station so it didn't take long to find. It was run by a cute little ...
