Not sure what all the fuss is about...Santa Margherita wins our vote.<br><br>Back at Scooby for lunch of bbq chicken wraps and biscotti for dessert, then onto the autopista to lovely Lucca. <br>

... 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!

... not many cars come screaming up behind you. And if they do, you will get a flash in plenty of time. But this cruise speed offers two new and unique challenges that I noticed. The first most obvious, is that the speed differential between fast lane and slow, is much greater than we see in the states. This means that stepping out from slow to fast requires a greater mirror calculation. And in the case of a car or truck stepping out on you, may ...

... disaster&#8230;perhaps even a mass murder. Good thing I was unarmed on this trip. Anyway, we stopped for 60 seconds in Nice and then made our way to Monaco, which was pretty much the same traffic wise although somewhat more civil. At least in Monaco there was more to look at. Connie and I counted 3 Lamborghini&#8217;s, 1 Rolls Royce Continental, 5 Bentleys, and countless yachts. In three days the Tour de France is set to start from Monaco, so there was a lot of ...

... s. Go figure. The best part about it was the hash-brown, I should have gotten two of those instead of one hash-brown and a ham, egg &amp; cheese (it was not very good half way through it). We managed to find a car with an empty "cubby" I guess you'd call it, so we were all able to sit down together. On the way, we traveled along the coast line and saw so many small villages and AMAZING views of the coast line and the cliffs! We arrived in Genova at about noon and ...

... dry stonewalls. The small villages confirm the fact that the relationship between man and nature has not shocked the Environment. The inhabitants built the villages with respect to environmental values and to safeguard the area against excessive development. Until 30 years ago fishing was the principal activity of Monterosso. Today there are few fishermen left, but the salted anchovies of this little village in Cinque Terre are ...

We only stopped here for a couple of hours on the way to Pisa, but it was long enough to hike into town to get some Liptons Ice Tea while Laura looked after the bags back at the train station. We had to wait around because there wasn't another connection to Pisa that suited any of the Nice train times. Liptons Ice Tea was our ...
