Italy
Well I must admit I didn't think that Italy would appeal to me. I'm not an arty
farty person. I'm not a great fan of museums or art galleries but I absolutely
loved Italy. The architecture, the colours, and the scenery - especially in Tuscany.
I was lucky enough to get to go to a few places in Italy - Naples, Genoa,
Portofino, and Florence just name a few. Italy is one country that I definitely have
to go back to and explore in more detail.
Naples was our first stop at a city in almost 2 weeks so it was a shock to the system
to see so many people again and so much traffic. We only docked here as the weather
was too rough to go to Sorrento. I took the funicular up to the top of a hill thinking
I would get good views on the way up. I was wrong - it was just like the underground
tubes but it went up the hill. At least I saw some beautiful buildings and residential apartments.
I also loved the quaint narrow cobblestoned lanes off the main roads.

We went to Genoa twice because the sea was too rough for us to go to
Portofino. I just wandered around the waterfront and then tried to find an internet cafe.
At least the taxi driver knew where to go and I saw a little bit of Genoa. What I saw I liked.
