A
bus from San Gimignano to Poggibonsi and three changes of train along the way,
got us the 223 kms to Camogli, by mid-afternoon. The route took us through
Cinque Terra, where we had been before and we recognised the seaside villages,
through glimpses from the many tunnels along the coastal train track.
True
to form, Comogli is another picturesque village hanging off the cliffs on the
Ligurian coast. Luckily our apartment is serviced from the street by a public
lift or a monstrous set of steps. We took the lift, only to discover more
steps to the apartment. Just can’t avoid hills and steps in Italy.
A
walk around the seafront identified a few restaurants and shops open. Afterall,
3.30 pm is just Italian lunch time. So a couple of negronis and a glass of wine
took us to sunset at 4.45 pm and as the chill set in, we went back to our
apartment for the nightly G n T medicine, determined to come back out for dinner in the dark of 8 pm.
On
our walk back we noticed quite a few people emerging for a promenade. They were
mostly locals. At 6.00 pm, we decided it was too comfortable inside and too
cold and dark outside, so a strategy was called for. This involved Lady P
heading up the big stairs to the supermarket for some salad and an excellent
jar of tuna. We crashed again at 8.30 pm.
