We are now in a little Italian town called Levanto. Its really refreshing to be in a town thats not totally touristy! It is so little that our computer is very old school and has no USB drive, so cant put any photos up yet sorry!
At least in France Chris spoke a bit of French. In Italy we have nothing apart from hi, thank you and please. So dinner was interesting last night when the menu came out only in Italian.
Chris knew (due to expert tuition) that tortellini pasta was a winner so ordered that. It came out. Pasta and only pasta. No meat. No veges.
Troys selection was more bizzare. It was under the antipasta section. And it was salami and what we think was sliced and uncooked bacon. It was really weird. Then not to be content with spilling drinks on planes, Troy lent back and snapped his chair. In the small village it sounded like a gun shot. The lady was luckily very forgiving.
Today we did a walk called the Cinque Terre. 5 lovely little beach side villages all within close walking distance. So we thought. We walked the first one. It seems there are two things that have not yet been introduced to Italy:
1.) Clouds
2.) Flat walking tracks
It was 31 degrees, very hilly and very unprotcted from the sun. So after we walked the two hours to get there and drunk 3 cokes, 3 waters and a fanta between us without once going to the toilet we decided that the train might be the better option. So we saw the rest of the villages, via train, and it was remarkably more pleasant!
Off now to ride a 2 person scooter around town before Italian dinner take two!
We will be travelling tomorrow so may not make it onto the internet, but will put up some more photos the following day.
