Leaving Levanto, onto the last two days in Italy
... . The harbour our balcony looks onto is relatively pretty but in comparison to the quaint and beautiful parts of Italy we have already seen, the big city of Genoa doesn't exactly compare favourably. We leave today by train, heading to Milan where we will ...
Ground hog's day
Sadie and I left beatiful peaceful Florence to mean unhelpful Genoa. We have been so spoiled in our travels up till this point. We usually have a bit of train trouble but nothing that can't be fixed or solved within an hour. Well landing in Genoa was not ...
New friends at Hotel Montallegro
I had dinner last night with my new friends that run the hotel and the funicular up and down the hill - we laughed and I was teaching them English and they were teaching me Italian... Using my handy translator app! Piacere di conoscerti... They said no ...
Poor Genoa
... imagine covered in winter snow. The mountains, lakes and forests are just as inviting in real life as in the brochures. We get to Genoa after a 6 hour train journey and it is hot (32 deg) and the train station is a shock of dilapidation and grubbiness. We ...
My travelling companion
... packed, somebody stowed away buried in the depths of my large, overweight suitcase. He was discovered when unpacking in my room in Genoa and unlike the formalities at the airport where he would have been sent straight back to whence he came - no passport ...

You only get one chance to make a first impression
... . Our fourth traveller, who is male and either Austrian or Swiss, appears to have paid for his fare but not contacted the agent in Genoa. He certainly hasn’t arrived as yet. It would be good if he did and was sociable as it would even the numbers at ...

With my whole family we EMIGRATED from Germany to Argentina. In Genova, Italy we took a cabin on the M/S Guglielmo Marconi of the Costa Crociere and departed on my 11th birthday. We reached Buenos Aires, Argentina on the 6th of december ...
Genoa - A City Not To Be Revisited
... the city. The whole place didn't really feel like Italy and I was very pleased to leave! Quick additions from Stu: Genoa is a bit rough around the edges, some lovely old palazzos and squares, but a few dodgy areas too (including our hotel). Had a ...

... (wonderful after nights in dorm rooms) with a shared bathroom. I then woke the next morning and toured a quiet, deserted city of Genoa where I had the streets to myself and met some nice locals milling about. There is an interesting old city and port in ...
Pizza oops Pisa
Hi, While in Florence we also took a day trip to Pisa. Thirty minutes or so walk through the unique town, then to that infamous leaning tower. If you are over this way it is a worth while trip. The tower and cathedral are stunning. The ...

Home of Christopher Columbus
... R. Steves, "the most fantasy-fulfilling stretch of the fable Riviera lies not in France, but just across the roder in Italy between Genoa and Pisa." These villages were founded by locals hiding from pirates and were cut off from the modern world for a ...
Ferry to Portofino
All I can say is I didn't see Brad Pitt but I saw a lot of wannabes and I saw lots and lots of money! Also, could not stay more than a couple of hours there --- a bottle of water was 8 euros! About $10.00 in the US... It was beautiful ...
Genoa, no I never met her before,
... ; Had I made a split second decision on the drive in I probably wouldnt have stopped and would of found somewhere else to stay! Genoa does not, imho, make a good first impression as you drive in! You drive over the city on a motorway ramp, then you ...
Days 1 and 2 - What Time is It?
... by 30 minutes and check in with the bank but to no avail. Arrangements are made, however, to deliver a new card to Ben in Genoa, Italy no later than Friday. We arrive at the airport a bit late, but our flight to Frankfurt is delayed by 45 minutes. ...
The land of great admirals of the sea.
