Sunday 7th May, 2023.

Yes please I’ll take one of those. The city of opulence. Arriving in Genoa and wandering around with our jaws literally hitting the floor. How many huge over the top and ornate buildings can you have one would ask? Well just streets and streets of them. Oh and of course don’t forget the marble. Whilst yes the city itself is a little dirty and run down you can’t escape the wealth and the beautiful architecture. And the football, arriving yesterday to a very excited city that won their match. Streets were closed off and everyone was out celebrating with their colours on and flags out. Wow, you don’t see this in Australia. The excitement was quite infectious.

And then we get to the Marina. Wandering around on a beautiful sunny Sunday we encountered more jaw dropping scenes. This time though it was on the water. With millions of dollars worth of Super Yachts, Sailing Boats and some rather lovely smaller vessels as well we couldn’t quite decide which one we would like to take home or rather sail home in!

Being one of Italy’s most important and busiest ports it easy to see why everyone is drawn to it on a lovely sunny day to enjoy gelato whilst dreaming about owning a yacht.
