... leaving you with a bright cheery feeling, the sun is shining and there are palm trees everywhere. Anyways back to Genoa the soon to be ground hog's day of our trip. We had checked, checked and double checked our ticket to make sure we knew of any transfers and where they happened. We made sure we were in our rightful seats even we have had to many experiences of getting in trouble for being in the wrong seat and we are tired of playing musical chairs. As we ...

... 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 ...

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!

... a Singapore. <br><br>Lui è un cuoco statunitense sregolato, simpaticissimo e assolutamente fuori dalle righe ho letto anche il suo "Kitchen confidential" e mi ha divertito molto.<br><br>http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=7vEtfakmiik<br><br>Non verrebbe voglia anche a voi di provere tutti questi posti?

Embarrassing isn't it? The bird (Jamie) speaks the lingo, FLUENTLY, in the 2 countries we've been to so far. And how do I get by? By attempting to communicate with the locals like Terry Scott in an episode of "Terry and June", where they holidayed in France for the week!! Communication menthods being, speak slowly and shout. My word, that was a funny episode! They don't ...

so left avignon today with thoughts to head to cinque terre, but due to traffic jam only made it as far as arenzano. found a cute pensione and jason was getting sick of driving so seemed like a good place to stop. tried a few others but was like walking through a sad run down old people town so didn't make it more than 5 mins there. well, happy hour time now, so will write more later....<br>

... vending machine.<br><br>Italy is very different to say France or Germany. Everything is very old and run down. Yet beautiful. It's almost like every building could be a tourist attraction in itself. No opportunity for a jump shot. I kept my eyes open but I didn't want to leave my camera and bag on the ground when all the walkways and piazzas were full of people. The right conditions are needed to perform a jumpshot!<br><br><br>

... was locked in the van too! Lesson learned&#8230;.Chris always makes sure he has the keys and we have written the emergency number in various places! <br><br>Well I guess that event drained me because that night I am pretty sure I was a feverish mess so I spent the rest of the day asleep recuperating but it was worth it! We didnt get to spend too much time enjoying Genova but it was a great relaxing place to be while getting over our colds.<br><br>On to Verona....<br><br><br><br>

... that limited some of what we could do; so she read her books. Delaney took to the ocean like a fish, and met a couple of friends, Juliana and Charlotte. They swam and played for about 5 hours. Micki and I also went swimming in the harbor. Again, a perfect day! That evening instead of going out to dinner, I cooked dinner consisting of insalata Caprese antipasto, trophie pasta with Cinque Terre-made fresh pesto, pizza from the trattoria down the stairs and of course ...

... all the boats had been brought in already. We were actually happy for a reprieve from the sun and spent most of the day sitting watching the waves and enjoying the mist as they hit the rocks. We got some laundry done and walked lazily through the town. We grabbed a pizza for dinner and brought it out to the water to enjoy our last dinner on the Riviera.
