Sep 27  Still in Italy

Most of the pictures I had taken in the first few days of our trip have gone astray.  I don't know whether I've deleted them from my phone, or if I didn't save them properly, but they are gone.  I had planned to do something special with the photos, but since they can't be found, as yet, I'll make do with what I was able to glean from Mike's camera and what was still available on my phone.

We had sailed up the western coast of Italy overnight and were docked by 8 a.m. right near the top of the boot.  After a quick breakfast upstairs we made our way to the gangway on the 4th deck.


On shore Mr. and Mrs. B had arranged to meet with his sister and her family and spend the day with them, while Mike and I did the regular touristy things.  We went for a ride on a tour train and stopped off near a fountain in a huge public square. We found a little cafe/bar with free wifi and stopped for a cappuccino.  It was really good.  I didn't know they could be that rich and frothy and yum!  I was hooked.

This area on Italy's north west coast is famous for five small towns nestled in the hills.  They are so close that you can walk from one to another.  Did you find the place?
