Life is great! I can’t believe we are experiencing such a beautiful trek. This
is the first visit to this area of Italy and we are truly amazed by its
beautiful coastline. Being in the Italian Riviera I had expected difficulty
finding accommodations, but this has not been the case. This is the shoulder
season and I would imagine that in July and August all accommodations would be
full. Julie is already talking about coming back for a month next
September/October. After finding our hotel we took a 4km walk to Cervo, a well
preserved hill-top medieval village with a beautiful church at the summit. The
village is filled with artist shops and cafes. Our afternoon lunch was on the
beach with food from a local deli that included a bottle of Italian wine...this
the truly La Dolce Vita!
We decided to stay an extra day in Diano Marina and explore more of the town. We discovered a few streets off the beach area with many shops and restaurants. It was a pleasant stroll passed Cervo were we discovered a bar perched on the cliff and with a small beach area a few meters below. We returned back to the hotel for lunch and within minutes of our return the rain came down hard with continues thunder. This lasted for about two hours and then the sun came out and there was little evidence of the rain. There is a British tour group staying in our hotel – approximately 40 people, and that evening they had a live musician entertaining. There was too much noise heard from our room and therefore we decided to join in on their fun. Their bus driver was quite an entertainer himself doing some crazy dances and imitating celebrities. We danced to closing time.
