Day 91 – EU – Italy [Rest Day in Genoa]

05/03/20

 Rest day in Genoa (Italy, Europe)

Enjoying the rest whilst the rain poured outside – and trying out the delicacies of a local trattoria

Routine of the day off: wash clothes, check equipment, sterilise bottles, recharge all electronic devices, replenish snacks stash, plan in details one more week stage by stage, book one more week of accomodation, try out some nice restaurant, watch a movie or two and get out of the door for some leisurely walk!

Today was rainy and cold, so I minimised the walking around. The little I saw of Genoa was pretty beautiful. The streets of the old city are so narrow, you got to look up to see the architecture. I found most of it quite hard to photograph. Mind blowing to think how many grand magnificent buildings are stacked up next to each other in these narrow alleys.

I sat down for a proper lunch at a local trattoria – and I realised I am being totally spoiled! It’s now 3 months that I’m running through countries with exquisite culinary traditions. This, I think, will give me more motivation to get up earlier in the morning, start my runs before 7am, and get in time for lunch for the next 5 weeks in Italy!

Tomorrow the sun is back and along with it, BoB and I on the road 🙂
