Genoa sail trip

















June 18th Day 14:  Genova/Porto Pidocchio
Sailing the 53 ft yacht to Pidocchio.  Whole town inaccessable by car , built by monkeys (we think he meant donkeys).  Bennie and Fausto are friends that met at Bennies tavern Zaccaria).  They share their dream of sailing around the world.  (Fausto may not make it if the pigmented lesion is melanoma and not a BCC).  We ate fish heads on top of the world.... Joe orders anchovies 3 ways.....(166eu).  We swim back to the boat after tide pooling and being attacked in water by a german shepherd.  FAbulous cliff diving pictured below LOL!!! 

At La Mandragola restaurant we eat saffron pasta with short noodles trofie with saffron and ham and potatoes for Joe.  tom has spinach gnocietti with some ham from the balcony above 20 stories up......Mama has a variety of tortes with cheese and mojito with tabasco from bennie’s bar, which is a tavern/dungeon with a wierd crypt like swimming bathhouse where they have rage parties in winter????? very strange and medieval .  1100’s

Pasta genovese for tomas....very different from erins on the beach earlier today.   (166 euros in podicchio, 56 eu in old town, free drinks from the tavern.


Boat by vrbo:  150 eu/night, 250 eu for excursion to podicchio.

We confirmed Karen has cross cultural dog sense.  and that tom cannot handle any wine in any way shape or form......  he sleeps on entire return trip.  I lost my sunglasses in the porto antico....
