Saying Good-bye To Genoa, Italy


It is incredible how quickly time flies by.  All ready tomorrow we catch out train heading to Rome with a stay overnight followed by a flight to Canada on April 1st.
We have been in Europe since before New Years Eve, starting with Paris, France, then travelling to Herceg Novi, Montenegro, and final destination, Genoa, Italy.
In that time we did a lot of day trips, visiting Dubrovnik, Croatia, Kotor, Budva, and some other tiny villages in Montenegro.  From Genoa, we visited Rome, Venice, Boccadasse, Nervi, and the Cinque Terres.
We had a few set backs.  I was quite sick in Herceg Novi for a solid few weeks, then Deb got sick as well.  It happens.
I have been training for the Ottawa Tamarack Half Marathon in May and my running paths through these amazing countries has been breathtaking.  How friggin' lucky am I?
The Airbnb's we booked were all in fantastic locations, priced affordably, easily accessible to transit so we could go touring about, and well appointed.
We met a few Canadians and Americans and Aussies along the way. 
 I have to say, we were greeted with lovely people in all these countries.  Some going out of their way to help out a couple of travelling women.  Such great acts of kindness....too many to number.

I say a big THANK YOU.


.....and thank you Genoa for the memories.




























Until we see you again.
