Vacation Memoirs: Genoa, Italy
We met some really cool friends on our search for a map of Genoa and the train to get there. Gert and Alton are from South Africa and it was so funny because they own a decor company for weddings and events in Cape Town so we had a lot in common and became instant friends. You'll see more of them later. The architecture was amazing!

This was Christopher Columbus' house. It is tiny!
Genoa also has the most narrow spaces between buildings I have ever seen I wonder how they built them?
They also have David's favorite treat, Gelato. I think he stopped at almost every place we saw:-)
This is kind of weird, our ship next to a really old bell tower.
Ahhh, another beautiful sunset. Onto Naples next.
