9th March 2023...Day 10 Genoa....

Day 10 Genoa.

Our first view of Genoa.
Our green Rick Shaw.
And meet with the pilot, Youssef.





Lighthouse






A church, with shops under and accommodation above!

Youssef and the old bank, with St George the patron Saint of Genoa behind him.

Our Rickshaw

Fabulous ship, but
not old, built by Roman Polanski for a film.



This house was built by a rich merchant, who when his neighbour built something bigger and blocked his view...put a sundial on his house, with a cherub baring his bottom at the neighbour!
It's in the brown patch between the windows.


House to commemorate Jeans, originally from Genoa or Gene as it is called in french.

A butchers
Ceiling of the church with 12 confessionals in it
Situated next to the red light area.




Narrow streets that bend, to keep the enemies out. 
St Georges flag flying.





The cathedral which got hit by a shell during the war, from an English ship. The shell didn't explode, and when dismantling the shell, they found, not only was it Italian, it was made in Genoa!
Our vegetarian meal at Soul Kitchen...
the food for us was very "experimental", 
4 courses , coffee, water and a beer....90 euros!!

Street entertainment.



We visit the Bio dome on the harbour.










Back to the train station, 
which is where our ship is docked.


Our waiter is very talented with napkins, he made this heart and rosebuds in about 5 mins.


Another shipping line, who have painted there ships
With super heros.
This is Wonder woman and Bat man!

Roof line

Going to dinner, tonight's theme is glamour!
