We
went for a walk to the top street this morning - 81 steps up! Except we took the
public lift. The little Lounge Bar was serving coffee, so this met met Lady P’s addiction,
then as it was after 11.00 am we walked down to our usual waterfront bar the
Camogli Wine Bar, got our usual table and had a vino and negroni. This time we
also got the water pistol to shoot the pigeons who like to land on your table.
Flashy got one.
Looking
to establish how good/better northern Italian pasta is (they use eggs) from
southern (peasant, no egg) pasta, we went to the also famous Pasta Fresca
Fiorella, pasta take away. They line up out the door for their fresh pasta too.
You can buy it to take home and cook or get a bowl of freshly cooked with a
variety of sauces, then sit on the step in the street and eat it.
We
were the last customers served at 1.01 pm and had to settle for green ravioli
with walnut sauce and green tagliatelle with meat sauce. It was the best pasta
we’ve ever had, sitting in the sun on the street.
Then
back home for a nap and off again for sunset drinks at 5.00 pm. Our table is
occupied! Dio Mio! The one adjacent is empty so we swoop. Negroni and limoncello
spritz, a sunset and the young boys playing soccer on the hard concrete, the
same locals walking the same dogs and we say arrivederci to Camogli.
