Two Days of Genova

17 Jun

Our flight to Genova was uneventful and we had almost no trouble getting into the city from the airport. Almost, as Tara was pick pocketed out of 50 euros on the bus in. Nothing else was lost so I guess that was fortunate.

As soon as we got away from the bus stop we saw our greeting party waving at us. Two of my Danish cousins with their spouses had come down for the weekend to spend time with us and see the sights of Genova.

Over the next two days we squeezed a lot of sightseeing and catching up. Some of the highlights are shown in the pictures.

  • Boat ride to Pegli and back
  • Funicular up to a viewpoint and park.
  • Trip to walk the passegiata and have dinner in Nervi
  • Wandering the narrow streets of the historic centre
  • Seeing the Palazzo Reale, and
  • Just sitting, talking and having a cold beer with family we see far too seldom.

My cousin Aksel is a farmer in Denmark and a master at raising pigs.
