16- Grand bicycle tour in Italy from 2011 (Porto Venere)

After spending a great evening at a pub where I met a nice albanian guy who married the owner's daughter and managed not only to escape poverty but also to lead a wonderful life, I spread my sleeping bag under a tree next to Genio hotel and had a relaxing sleep.

Day 14) Porto Venere I decided to spend another day in this paradise. In the morning I am feeding some pigeons.

Then I go to take a dip in the sea.

I am waching some seagulls.

I see a fancy boat.

After swimming I relax in the shade of some coniferous trees watching the tourists pass by.

I am lucky enough to see a unique scene, a seagull living in harmony wuth a cat.

Then I roam about this ancient town discovering new intersting places.

In the evening I am invited to Marco's birthday party and I have a fabulous time.

This pub has plenty of good drinks and I can admire some drawings.

Day 15) Portovenere - Portofino - Recco In the morning two carabinieri check me out and it s time for me to go. Ligurian splendid coast awaits me.
