Genoa; Thursday, 26 September, 2013

Having spent the night at an airport hotel it was a very quick walk from my bed to check-in, and with an uneventful journey through the airport, and an on-time departure, it was just 2 ½ hours from stepping out of bed to pushing back.

A slightly bumpy flight later we arrived into Genoa and I caught the bus to one of the main stations in town, and then a local bus back out to the hotel. I checked in and headed back out into the city.

I wandered down to the harbour side to pick up the open-top sightseeing tour and, after quite a long wait for the bus, went on two full circuits to take in all the sights.

Back in the city centre I had a long wander through many of the tiny lanes and then took a funicular up to the top of one of the hills for the views back down on the city centre.

Back down to sea level and I finished off with a very nice dinner in a restaurant near the harbour before wending my way back to the hotel
