Portofino, Italy

A second early start and another long but wonderful day on the Italian Riviera. More blue skies and temperatures in the mid 20s...

A day of trains and boats, mountains and stunning blue seas, hidden coves and beaches, ancient abbeys, fishing villages and sleek yachts...

To end the day, a bustling square in the heart of Genoa's old town for local chickpea pancakes, pasta and pesto, all washed down with Prosecco, followed by a Halloween ghost tour through the city's atmospheric medieval alleys...

(Been having too much fun to keep up with blip, sorry, hope to catch up with you all real soon...)
