Sunset in the Adriatic pool

It started like this...




and ended like this...



And this was how one more trip ended. 4500km during the coldest June  in 5 countries(people in every country I visited bitched about it).

I can't thank enough the people who hosted me: Jelena and her roomates @ Tivat Montenegro, Maja @ Lukovo Sugarje Croatia, Rahel and the Brunner family @ Mustair Switzerland, Antonello and his family @ Torino.

Was also nice to feel on my back the eyes of you guys following my blog, hope you enjoyed it. More than 600 clicks per month lately and counting :) I will payback by uploading video stuff, hopefully soon.

See you on the next one ;)

Put your hands together please for...

...my boots!



After so many years and so many miles I had to leave them some 20ish km west of Ancona watching the sunset. Are they still looking west? Or someone else is now walking in my shoes? I only wanna thank them for following me that long. As a payback I took them  to so many places that they sure have stories to share :)

Foligno

One more sweetie among other ones in Umbria Italy close to Perugia. Not as beautiful as Spoleto which was one of my destinations last October but still not bad at all.

Check it out:




This tiny backstreet was full of these flags:



Parco di Canape:



The missing left leg of this horse statue attracted the attention of locals and police:



Lots of nice houses around but I really liked this one:

Pisa

I couldn't believe that the most popular destination of my trip would be so impressive. How many times have you seen the leaning tower of Pisa? Countless...and then you go there and ... you  go speechless:






...unless you are one of the millions of stupid tourists who try to take the classic "pushing the tower" pose...





The most ridiculous guy I met on my trip:



Last but not least... a girl lost her earring:

Genova

While I write these lines I have a bottle of cheap but strong Grappa in a balcony somehow overlooking the port of Genova. Weather is amazing but my tomorrow's trip to Pisa is predicted to me a bit wet...I came here yesterday after a nice trip from Torino which thanks to my friend Antonello's advises offered me nice pics like these (and videos to be posted later)






If you hate going up and down streets and stairs then the old part of Genova is your nightmare. It is a quite interesting city to visit though, considering the fact that the part of the city around the port consists almost exclusively by very old buildings which offer a nice time travel to the eyes of the visitor.






The fact that this part of Genova is built on a hill offers numerous chances to see the city from above.








This was by far the most impressive thing I found at the old port:



And here's its story:



Genova has some of the most narrow backstreets I have ever experienced - some of them are as wide as your shoulders.



One more impressive thing is the various tunnels in the old city:




While writing this post I already had a couple of glasses filled with Grappa so I'd better stop here...perfect weather and alcohol is weird mix you know...

Cheers till the next one ;)
