Genoa sightseeing

Well I slept like a log. When I woke up, it was raining! I had a slow start, eventually leaving about 11am. Rain continued on and off. I got very frustrated with Google maps, in the same way the sat nav sometimes drives me mad.
My poor right foot is suffering, so I found an apoteca. Lady measured my ankle and found me a perfect ankle support. Hope it helps.
So after a couple of false starts and retracing steps, with a detour round an indoor market, I found the Cathedral. It is pretty imposing and surrounded by large buildings and shops and cafes. I went in, but the barriers were up while staff had lunch!!
I found a nice cosy cafe. I had delicious tea and a pistachio croissant. When I went back inside the Cathedral the barriers were down. The musee de tresors was open. I paid 5 euros and had a look as you will see. I then began to pester about my cathedral stamp. I eventually made it to the Sacristy, beautiful room, and my passport was duly stamped!!
Turning away from culture for a while, I went off to the Aquarium at the port. Very interesting and atmospheric. Saw dolphins, and.......found penguins! Get it??
I discovered, as I left, that battery on the phone almost dead. Inevitably the phone died before I had reached anywhere I recognised
Pounced on an unsuspecting Italian lady who gave me directions. I managed to follow them far enough that I recognised where I was.
Stopped off at the cafe to get coffee and a roll, smoked ham and cheese, a muffin, and a bag of crisps. When I made it home, I discovered coffee latte had turned into hot milk!!!🤣
Soaked feet in the bidet, and they are now wrapped in a towel waiting for a massage with face cream.
Early start and late finish tomorrow so early night.
After 20 years, I remembered nothing about Genoa. There is so much to explore, another day or two would have been good. Next time😊Read more
