... 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!!

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 ...

... distance from the train station. Sadie and I take turns exploring the area, it is so cool that the ocean is so near. This seems like a great town to spend time in. The time comes to get on our connecting train then the bad news comes that we have gotten off at the wrong stop. Little did we know that there are two stops in Genoa. We miss our connecting train by 20 minutes and now come to find out are stuck in this town for the next 3 hours. The horrible ...

... the 11C and there aren't any Roman ruins because the Genovans needed to build somewhere so they just built on top of the old stuff! Anyways it is built on a hill and the modern part is at the top and to get there you travel over little tiny streets and even smaller alley like paths where the buildings appear to almost meet at their tops. We also saw the 16th C palaces nearing the ...

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!

... questo blog e penso già alla sensazione che proverò quando scendendo dll'aereo sentirò una ventata di aria calda (e umida a quanto si dice) a darmi il benvenuto.
Mi piace questa idea di avere un diario di viaggio da condividere con gli amici
Mi hanno mandato a vedere questi 5 video di Antony ...

... so forth. Upon our maiden voyage out of Munchen to Luzern (Lucerne) we quickly noticed that the city streets are shared between many forms of transportation. There are trucks, cars, scooters, bicycles, and pedestrians, along with golf carts and 4-wheelers. Anything goes. You can license anything that moves. All of this movement is sharing the road with large fast electric trains running down the center of the street. Much like our light rail ...

... the kids!! So now I have learnt to eat a whole pizza!! Which I could never do before. But given that the pizza here is no thick crust, less oily and not topped with such packaged meat that may well be made out of road kill!! The best pizza I have had so far is a vegie one with eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, spinach, varying in these and some other roasted vegies. SO YUM!!!
But definitely needing to cut back on the amount I am eating. Otherwise there will be an ugly ...

... monterrosso and vernazza selling whole lemons by the side of the trail. he would slice them for you and you were supposed to eat it by itself. I tried a piece and the lemons there taste different from back in the states. they are sweeter almost, not sweet, they still made me pucker, but slightly sweet. We stopped in Vernazza for lunch. the Cinque Terre region is famous for its pesto so we of course had to try that. I got pesto with spaghetti and the other girls got a pesto pizza. ooooh ...

... and passed them for the final leg of the race. I felt we handled ourselves quite well as we held our hands above our heads and cheered... these people had no idea what was going on. Thanks to Adam and Julie for hooking us up with a bed and breakfast place in Levanto. Levanto is a small town next door to the 5 Terra towns and it was a peaceful little town (I guess it gets busy in summer but not end of May). We spent one whole day just walking the beach, watching the kids ...
