Week 4 Camogli

There are days when we arrive in a town and we are in awe with its beauty, but somehow Camogli is different. In contrast Camogli grasped our soul. It is set on a rugged hillside and therefore is a tourist attraction, however there are many people living at the water’s edge. Many people are enjoying the water – fishers, kayakers, [serious] swimmers, little children, lovers and vacationers. And there are cafes and restaurants on the city harbour that attracts many people at night. It is hard to imagine that on October 6, 2012 we would be sitting on the beach enjoying the sunset. Dreams do come true!

We loved Camogli so much we decided to stay another day and take a day-hike on the local mountain. We were looking forward to the hike but knew it would be a difficult one - which it was. It was straight up, following stairs and passing resident homes. Hard to believe people live on this mountain, because the only access is by foot, donkey (which I didn't see any) or motorbike (which there were many). On the way up we passed a elderly women with a large bag (sack) of buns making her way slowly to her home. Unfortunately, after an hour and half the path started to get little dangerous and therefore we decided to return to Camogli. And as it turned out I didn't take any pictures because I left the camera memory card in the computer. I had to cheat and download a photo from the Internet.
