Travel day! We went to Nice (very big, kinda dirty and not my cup of tea), dropped off our trusty Renault (Clio was her name), and hopped a train along the rest of the French Riviera. Through Monte Carlo and into Italy. Again, this decision was on the fly like all others along this trip. We found a place on the map that looked to be a good base for a few days to explore the Italian riviera. Wow, did we score. Our town is Rapallo. It is amazing and wonderful and a new love in my life. It’s on the water, it’s happy, and full of life and secrets and it’s beautiful. We explored it’s streets and alleys and cafes and wine shops and nooks and crannies. I love all of it. We also hopped a ferry to Portofino. Meh. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Very cute, but waayyy too full of tourists for my liking.

Have I mentioned how much I love Rapallo? Have I mentioned how absolutely amazing the pasta is? Wow. I can’t even describe.

Nice airport. So cute.
    

 

Portofino. Even they have to hang their laundry out to dry.
