Richard finally touches down!

June 8, 2022 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

6 pm and I was beginning to worry because I have not heard from Richard so to calm my nerves I definitely needed to have a dry martini 🍸 then low and behold I heard from the man himself… Arrival at last! Let the debauchery begin! 🤪

In true shenanigans style we headed straight to a little bar in the back alley to have some pre-dinner drinks… Aperol spritz! They were delicious and much needed for both of us: Me maybe due to too much sun and sea today 🌊 & Richard due to too much travel! ✈️✈️✈️ Not only did we get our Aperol Spritz but we were delivered an exciting and delicious tray of treats! A gorgeous wooden board with many delicacies…such a pleasant surprise 👌

We then headed to a gorgeous little restaurant overlooking the bay in Rapallo… The waiters were so kind and friendly and… Hot 🔥
Richard had the gnocchi with pesto which I recommended after having it for lunch. Thanks to mum and dad for this dinner and drinks which they contributed to… We thank you and love you very much and you can rest assured we enjoyed every sip and mouthful x

There is nowhere in the world where pesto tastes so fresh and vibrant and the gnocchi is way ‘out of the park’ in every way shape and form… The sexy waiter 🙃 also brought over the basil 🌿 plant 🌱 in case Richard wanted even more authentic taste upon his delectable morsels! 😋
Not to mention at the end of the night the waiters brought out a large bottle of lemoncello and shared it with us, complimentary! How could we say no 😝😝

It is so good to have Richard here at last! I really enjoyed being able to chat with a good mate about what’s been going on for both of us and it was so much more enjoyable to have stimulating and controversial chats and discussion! 🙏👌🥰🍸🌈

There were a few showers of rain tonight as you will see the pictures but it did not the perturb us… Good honest genuine tourists like us never get scared off by mother nature l, we embrace it and we move on and continue to experience all of these ‘money can’t buy’ moments!

Welcome to Italy 🇮🇹 Richard 🥰👍🏻🏖☀️Read more
