Woke up to sun shining over Camogli.......although the shutters on the terrace doors did a great job of keeping out the light, and we slept in later than usual.
Today we are going to let the images do most of the narrative for us. This is for two reasons; first, the pictures often convey more than our descriptions.......and second, we are a bit tired of writing!
Our primary activities today were threefold.
- Explore Camogli
- Visit our friends at Bogliasco
- Take a late afternoon trip up to San Rocco
Each of these will become apparent. The sun and lighting were great all day for our pictures. In fact, I suspect that the volume of images here will create an overdose for some. For us, however, it is difficult to edit.......so the more, the merrier!

OUR TRIP UP TO SAN ROCCO
 |
| A pilgrimage to the coolest bar anywhere......Bar Dai Muagetti......on the hilltop beyond the village of San Rocco |
 |
| even the pictures don't do justice for how astonishing this is........on a hiking trail from San Rocco to San Frutuosa.......no cars, a few hikers......and a view to France! |
 |
| Literally carved into rock in the side of a mountain |
 |
| the most romantic place to watch the sun set |
 |
| with aperitivi snacks that are enough for dinner!......although we kept ordering prosecco! |
 |
| s small serving bar cut into the rock |
BACK TO CAMOGLI FOR THE EVENING
 |
| the drive back as the sun was setting was beautiful. We left around 8:00 because we did not want to walk back along the cliff in the dark! |
