    • 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 🥰👍🏻🏖☀️

    • Un altro giorno in paradiso

      June 9, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Amazing breakfast 🍳 of fresh fruit 🍉 with taste. Also egg 🥚sweet bread and apricot jam. All devoured in the beautiful jasmine garden with the popular potted basil 🌿 on each table: typically Italian ❤️🤍💚

      On exiting our hotel lobby we were delighted 😁 to discover there was a wonderful market that ran all the way along the foreshore of the beach. Richard and I wandered along the wide and varied merchandise stands. Richard tried his best at haggling and took a considerable amount of time choosing a five euro watch for himself! He also invested in a beautiful signature ring. Both of these items are available for perusal in today’s photos. 💍 ⏰

      We then wandered through the alleyways of Rapallo until we found one of the few cafes that were open during Siesta! Unfortunately for us the cafe owner was not very proficient in English, and why should she, being a proud Italian?! Richard was so jet lagged that he thought the English Menu was written in Italian 🤦‍♂️✏️ Both of these factors created a calamity of indecision…we still greatly enjoyed the fresh ingredients on our meat & cheese 🧀 platter. Oh, and our mojitos & wine 🍷😉 It was a very popular cafe, probably because it was one of the few still open for lunch! You’ve got a love the relaxed and laid-back Italian way of life 💚🤍❤️

      Next stop Vernazza! 🚂

      It is always a little bit anxiety producing catching Italian trains because they arrive exactly on the dot. If it is arriving at 2:01 pm it will be there and if you are not on the right platform you miss out!
      There is always a sense of relief when you reach your destination…

      Rapallo. You have lived up to your reputation & then some..! 🥰🥰🥰

    • Day 3

      Shoppingtour durch Rapallo

      March 13, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Da es heute so neblig und regnerisch war entschlossen wir uns das Innere der Stadt zu erkunden. Viele alte Gemäuer und Kirchen säumten unseren Weg, und wir fanden zu Mittag ein nettes kleines Restaurant. Die meisten Läden öffneten erst um 16:00 und so vertrieben wir uns etwas die Zeit. Eigentlich war geplant mit der Seilbahn zu einer Kirche auf einem Berg zu fahren, aber wegen dem windigen Wetter war dies leider nicht möglich. Deshalb werden wir das morgen bei einer Wanderung in Angriff nehmen. Ein schöner wenn auch etwas kühler und anstrengender Tag.Read more
