    Portofino

    July 18, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Leaving Garda we head towards the Italian Riviera coastline. Windy roads and tunnels through the hill side.

    Staying in Rapallo where we have a day trip out to surrounding ports. Ferry hopping from; Rapallo > Santa Margherita > Portofino.

    Portofino - A postcard, picture perfect little fishing village lined with colourful buildings. We walked upto Castello Brown - short but steep walk up from the harbour. Steps and hills not an ideal combination in the baking heat but worth the panoramic views at the top! Think this is the hottest we have ever been. Disgustingly hot and humid 🥵

    Time for a drink to cool down and soak up the view whilst deciding what we would call our yatch when we win the euros … (let’s never talk about the price of those 2 drinks 😂) …

    On our last day here we had a chiller at camp. Think the heat zapped us yesterday so a quiet pool day was needed with a book in the shade!

    Our Yorkshire accents engaged conversation with a couple from Barnsley and another couple from Cornwall. Sharing travel stories, routes and where next!

    Pizzeria at the site with the best pizzas for 6 Euros in 5 minutes! Our Netherland neighbours also gifted us some water melon & wine … camp life 👍🏻
