Week 3 Savona

The one observation trekking the coastline is the number of natural grottos caused by constant pounding of the surf. From the trail it is sometimes possible to see the waves came in and then a few seconds later a burst of sea-spray comes out from a hole in the rock. There are also some grottos that have stairs leading down to the water and it’s possible to swim into the caves. Unfortunately it was a too rainy today to consider this adventure. Julie doesn’t think I would do it! If the conditions were right, I just might.

Savona is a relatively large city and therefore not as picturesque as the smaller towns along the coast. Our hotel is on the beach and with a view of the water from our room. Hotel Ariston is in a great location, but a bit outdated and therefore could use some remodeling. Regardless, we ventured around town to visit Fortress Priamar perched on top of a hill with a 360 degree view of the mountains and coastline. There are many beautiful churches to visit, and none built in the modern day would compare with those built hundreds of years ago.
