Genoa, Italy



On the  22nd of October we caught a train from Venice to Genoa via Milano. The trip took roughly 5 hours. In Genoa we stayed at a shared apartment we found on hostel world.

Our host told us Genoa is famous for it’s pesto pasta and focaccia’s so once we had settled in we headed to the small shop down the road and bought some of the local delicacies. Once we had eaten and were well rested we caught the subway into the town centre and walked around. The town seemed pretty dead and looked like everyone had packed up and left at the end of the summer season.



 We found one restaurant serving food (many just served drinks). Here we tried pesto pasta and a tuna salad that consisted of tuna, tomato, lettuce, egg and mozzarella. Both very nice!

The following day Michael travelled to Monaco in France. I woke up feeling very lethargic and sick so I spent most of the day sorting photos, updating my blog and downloading movies.

The next day we caught the train from Genoa to Riomoggorie, one of the 5 Terre (Cinque Terre) towns, where we stayed 3 nights.
