Today surprisingly good weather,so we took the opportunity to stay for another day in the caravan here to visit this mediterean coastal city of Genova, facing opposite to the sea is the mountains,houses and shops were seen located high on the mountain slopes, so there are some rolling hills to ride, we rode into thecity centre after 11 km from our campsite and soon I lost both Ivan/Annie in the busy traffic.Not to worry as we knew the way back on our own. People here are more relax going around ,sitting or lying in the parks to past their times,unlike Asians especially in China or Indochina, people are always in a rush. There is not many attractions in the centre except the road along the sea esplanade were more busy having sunbath at the several small beaches. On the way back to the campsite, i bought some foods at the Basko supermarket.
