But here goes, who ever is in charge of road signage placement……should probably just be shot….he is an idiot. I have to interject here with a few thoughts and insights that may well offend my European friends which I dont intend to do. Hit the cranks out of Genoa by about 7.15am. Made our route choice and left early Sunday morning. We were longing for a Denny’s when it was over, or maybe a Perini’s in Texas hill country.
Not sure what our problem was, but nothing worked out. But we went out for supper 3 times one night, and had about the worst meals you could imagine. Now I know that Italy has a world class food reputation, I dont really doubt it.
Some of our time was spent studying traffic and deciding which roads to escape on, and we are glad we spent that time because the escape went very well. We shopped for art….and I finally found that Don Marley poster I have been looking for. We walked Genoa and seen as many Cathedrals as a person can stand too see in one day. To really get back to feeling a little more normal we had to go spend one night in a dumpster……well, okay….over the top maybe, but real close to that. Not to mention the plethora of makes and models of fine automobiles that passed us.įor both my brother and I, we gravitate more to the simpler and maybe more rural style of life,food and dress….this piece of the trip was just a little much for our upbringing. Equisite ltalian leather loafers, nice suits and the european version of a wild rag around the neck….only they call it an Ascot. Indeed there are many days that we felt and looked like homeless bums as we walked among the rich and famous.
This is an affluent piece of real estate that we are riding thru, with cities such as San Remo and Montecarlo among them. From Genoa we essentially rode the coastal route over too Nice France where my brother then flies home. We stopped for 2 days in the Italian coastal port city of Genoa, which also happened to be the home port of non-other than Christopher Columbus. From Florence where my brother and I met up, we headed basically west by northwest.
