Iris 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!

... 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?

... you share the road with the train. <br><br>Departing Munchen was actually quite simple thanks to the BMW Navigation System Dawn ordered with her car. The BMW system is now all contained on a hard drive so there is no need to insert various DVD's of regions that you may be traveling in. BMW programmed in the map system for all of Europe prior to our arrival and will reprogram the car for the US before they ship it over. It is a lovely system ...

... makes the worst purchase in a grocery store. Jyles wins this one. Zurich is in Switzerland, which is famous for chocoalte. So Jyles buys a Kit Kat.Need I say more. <br><br>We hopped on our tarin to Milan. Not much excitment here. The boys are quite as they look enjoy the nice view of teh Alps. We get into Milan at 930. Weve missed our connect8ing train. The boys decide to go to Macdonalds. <br><br>Third - who can push my ability to holdmy temper more. They both tied on this one. They ...

... city of Levanto. I really hope I get back to feeling normal to enjoy the beaches. Right now I am winded climbing 10 stairs. I don't have much time on this internet connection and the key board is very stiff. I have to mash the spacebar each and everytime I want to use it. London was great. The play Wicked was awesome and I really enjoyed it. Also my arrival to London coincided with the River Thames ...

... good. We had a little kitchen in our apartment, so Laura and I went to the grocery store and bought items to make a little meal ourselves. I mentioned the apartment, but I didn't yet mention how spectacular it was. Just an amazing view with our balcony that opened up into the rocky alcove that sets back in Riomaggiore. Below are different colored fishing boats, and out is the crystal clear waters hitting off the rocky coast. We made a ...

(Val) So at Genova, we reserved an overnight train to Rome and it had a very small reservation fee, which was a nice change. We are trying to be creative in ways to avoid these fees. They are really eating into our budget. After reservations were made and pizza, olive loaf and water were bought, we were on a train to the Cinque Terre, which Rick Steves describes as a traffic-free ...
