A trapped Nerve in Nervi!!

Jour 39 : Marche et petit tour en bateau
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 ...

Under a Ligurian sun
