Genoa 11th October"2014


After a little sleep in, we caught the No 35 to bus Genoa Principle, with the intention of going up the funiicolare to see the overall view of Genoa !!! And short cab ride  later only to find it was closed due to the floods.  Back on the bus to the Historic Centre, where we saw part of the original wall of the city and the fortified gateway.
 We even found Elvis !!!
We walked down the backstreets & lane ways , and bumped into some people we had met on the train yesterday.
 The church Mary the Virgin, has some oroginal paintings by Reuben.
We sat for a while admiring the church and then realised that the priest was walking around with his keys, waiting for us to leave!!! All the churches and most of the specialty shops close between 12 noon and 3pm.
