We drove from here to Levanto and then to Deiva Marina. Once there we had lunch, wonderful soup plus Sandy had a plate-sized bruschetta and I had their 'salad' bar. Calling it a salad bar is a gross injustice what with the marinated and roasted veggies, salami and cheese.
The driving was amazing clinging to the cliffside 1500 feet almost straight down to the Mediterranean. We've seen a lot of clinging roads but the deep blue sea below makes it special. It didn't have quite the charm that I experienced on the bike ride at 6:00 a.m. ...
For dinner we were back at our castle. I had pizza which is a truly amazing dish when you have proscuitto and huge fresh porcini mushrooms plus of course the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. It doesn't resemble North American pizza at all, other than looks.
Today we have no plans. We are staying put although we might explore the area a bit more ... I have to talk Sandy into getting back into the car !
Tomorrow we're off to Venice.
Onward !
