{EUROPE} Day Eight - Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure & Portofino (Genoa), Italy

We docked early in Genoa...

and enjoyed breakfast overlooking the port before meeting up with our tour.

We chose a full day tour that visited three seaside villages - Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure, and Portofino - along the Italian Riviera...

We began our day by travelling the highway...


to Rapallo...

where we walked through the market...

visited the Chiosco della Musica...

and walked the quaint streets...

before stopping for a snack at Gran Caffe Rapallo...


We then had some free time that we used to do a little shopping...

before boarding our bus and heading a short distance...


over to Santa Margherita Ligure...


where we grabbed lunch...


spaghetti for the kids...

and cheese foccacia bread for me + my first Aperol Spritz...


I am not a fan... In my opinion, the best part was the orange slice!

After lunch, we toured the Basilica of Santa Margherita...

before heading over to the port area...

to catch a boat...

with

a


view...

(I'm not going to lie... It felt pretty fancy to be speeding through the water from one seaside village to another, and I'm not joking about the view(s)!)

to Portofino... 


where we walked the picturesque streets and stopped to grab gelato...


and some olives for our B!

We returned back to the ship to have dinner with Grandma and share about our day.

After dinner, the girls got to try out their new swimsuit coverups (purchased in Rapallo) as they headed to the pool with their brother...


while Grandma and I caught the new Jennifer Lopez/Owen Wilson movie, Marry Me, up on the big screen!


Arrivederci, Genoa!


On to Livorno, tomorrow!
