Bellevue Genoa

... so we decided it was best to settle away from the centre of town for a change and park in a residential district about 1km away... much more tranquilo!!<br><br>Splashed out on take away pizza for dinner but ate it in the shop and washed down with a bottle of beer. We became the hot topic of conversation when owners and local patrons found out we were Australian and were ...

... moved and then as if to add one last jab she said, " Atleast we'll get away from the coughing guy", so now we are the ones who will catch sickness because we wanted out seats. We are damned if we do, damned if we don't. One way or another we can never make the people of the train happy.<br><br>We arrive in Genoa at the stop we think is ours. The weather is hot and sunny. We have a two hour lay over, so we stroll over to this beautiful town square that is within ...

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 and had a tour of the harbor and then got off at the aquarium and started our tour. Genoa is very nice and the historic section dates back ...

Destination 404<br><br>km197'196<br><br>A wonderful winding route via a inland section have lead me from Pisa to the coastline around Genova. But since in that part of the environment it was very hard to find a spot for bushcamping I took the toll freeway to prevent to get stuck in the chaotic traffic of Genova and headed north into the highlands of the northern region of Genova. A beatiful spot at the top of a mountain has provided perfect views to sunset and sunrise, but a bloody cold night!

Partiremo fra un mese circa. Oggi sto preparando il guardaroba invernale per la vita di tutti i giorni in Piemonte. La stufa è accesa dalle 6.45 e oggi non ha ancora smesso di fare freddo: il sole non l'ho ancora visto. I vestiti estivi sono pronti per essere messi in valigia ma è ancora troppo presto ...

... a pleasant female voice that we have affectionately named "Fraulein" for our trip. Fraulein would later become our best friend.<br><br>As we moved about through the city heading to the highway, and ultimately to our first Autobahn, another odd tend was noted. When stopped at a red light, the yellow will light with the red for a couple seconds, to signal that the green is imminent. Once the yellow and the red go out, the green comes on. This ...

Genua empfängt uns, wie könnte es anders sein, mit Regen. <br><br>Aber das kann die vielen und guten Eindrücke der ganzen Fahrt auch nicht trüben.<br><br>7 Tage - 7 Städte<br>1647 Seemeilen (1 Seemeile = 1,852 km)<br><br>Proviantmenge in dieser Woche:<br><br>6.600 kg Kartoffeln<br>4.300 kg Salate<br>21.000 kg Obst<br>6.300 kg Fleisch<br>52.000 Eier<br><br>Beeindruckende Zahlen, die ziemlich deutlich zeigen, dass wir nicht Hunger leiden mussten :) <br>Um euch noch einmal so richtig neidisch zu ...

... of the Genoa, the port and the surrounding areas. We were surprised to see that most of the hills around Genoa were covered with the remnants of old forts/castles. Great vantage points but we have no idea what/when they were used. After an hour walk (had no idea where we were going) we found a spot popular with families just below a fort so took some photos and headed back to the fenicular and back to the ship.

... furniture, a rustic orange comforter, and a small balcony... with the most spectacular view of the Sea and Cliffs!! I've never stayed in a place with such a view, and for only 42&euro;!?! Yes please!! I throw open the window to let the sea breeze in, and I take a little nap before dinner. Napping to the sound of the sea crashing against the rock, and church bells chiming every hour. AMAZING!!! Good luck getting me back home after this! At around 7, I went out to get ...
