Genoa; Monday, 30 September, 2013

An amazing difference from the previous morning, not only was the breakfast room deserted, but the skies were blue and the sun was out.

I had a couple of hours to kill before I had to head to the airport, so I caught a bus into town and finally, after several attempts during the weekend, got to visit the Cathedral.

Having seen round the Cathedral I had a bit of a wander around the city centre before it was time to head back to the hotel and collect my luggage. I caught the bus back towards the centre of town, to the main bus station to pick up the airport bus.

After 40 minutes wait, and an increasing number of bemused looking tourists, it finally became clear that there wasn’t going to be an airport bus, it would appear that the drivers were on strike over something, so instead with a couple of other tourists I jumped in a cab out to the airport, arriving still with plenty of time before my flight.
