I went to.......Portofino!!!!!





I am still pinching myself to make it seem real, that I actually went to Portofino! Not just Portofino but Camogli, San Fruttuoso & S. Margherita Ligure also!
The coast line near Genova is littered with these wonderful little harbours, such a feast for the eyes & the camera. Once again it was Rosanna who was our guide for the day. This lovely lady has such a passion & knowledge for the fabulous country in which she lives. She took us by bus, train & ferry to visit these amazing colourful little villages.....we had a wonderful day, the weather was perfect & the sun on the buildings made it a sight to behold.
I shall show photos of the other harbours in a future blog, but for now it is just......yes, just......Portofino!!!
It was our last day in Genova & we left Rosanna that day.....but it was not 'good-bye'.....it was just 'see you again soon'.....as we are to meet again in Paris before we head for home!
Rosanna......."Grazie...Grazie...Grazie"
