We spent a lovely few days relaxing in Genova, this week. The weather was warm and perfect for strolling around in the evenings by the harbour.
Genova is a small town in northern Italy with few English-speakers, so we got to practice our rolling Rrrrs lots. We also went on the double-decker train to Sestri Levante, a pretty beach resort and visited the Aquarium - one of Europe's largest apparently.
The photo at the top demonstrates the amazing 3D paint effects many Genovese buildings are decorated with to look like dressed stone. I found them fascinating.
So back to Blighty, and to work, but first a long weekend to recover... Hope you're having a happy summer.
