Italy here I am

Imperia, Italy
11:00pm
Warm with a light sea breeze

Ciao,

I am feeling very well. My vacation in Italy started and I am so enjoying myself. We, mom and her bf, took off on Friday and drove down to the Bodensee, where we stayed for 1 night at an old pension. After a filling breakfast we drove down to Imperia, Italy.

We are currently staying at Villa Giada, a holiday park, with cozy apartments, 2 pools and the beautiful view towards the Mediterranean Sea (except for the autostrada).

We spend the first day just relaxing at the pool and enjoying a walk down the coast line. Imperia has one of those very old Gelaterias, where the ice cream is handmade and heavenly!

On Monday we drove to Genova down the SP1, which is the road down the coast. Lovely scenery, fresh ocean air. We took a detour (unplanned) through the mountains, which I loved (small Italian villages and a lovely chapel in the middle of the small road), mom didn’t. Genova is a huge Italian city (35km along the Sea) and it took us a while to find the aquarium but when we did, whoa. It’s right at the Antique port.

Yesterday, the weather was awesome, lots of sun, light sea breeze. I spend some hours at the pool, napping under a big umbrella, catching up on my reading and cooling down from time to time.

I am currently sitting in a small Internet Café in Imperia with smells of Coffée and Italian banter as background noise.

Another 1 ½ weeks of rest and recreation, trip to Nizza, go to the market, more walking practice in the mountains and lots of naps.

Have a marvelous week,
Love,
Andrea
