We had breakfast a Mezzini's before making our way to the train station to catch the train to Milan. While waiting we were chatting another Australian couple from Brisbane. The lady was saying she had been to a world wide conference on statistics. We gathered from the converation, that she was senior in Australia and had once been President of the World Statistics Community.
The train took approximately 2 1/2 hrs to reach Milan, where we had a 45 minute wait for the connecting train to Genoa.
We arrived into Genoa 1 1/2 hrs later. My memories of Genoa railway station were not good from our previous visit, and this was confirmed again. There is not lift or escalator from the platform level to street level, which is a nightmare with large suitcases !!!There was another couple struggling with luggage as well, so the men helped each other out !!!.
We caught a taxi to our apartment. It was an apartment, on its own in a building. The owner had sent an elderly Italian gentleman, who couldn't speak or understand english, to check us in. Eventually, he called the owner on his phone, who was English, and apologised for her mistake.
The apartment was large older style apartment, with 3 bedrooms, large living area, bathroom and kitchen.
We wanted somewhere close for dinner, and found a Chinese Restaurant. Unfortunately, it was probably the worst Chinese food we have had !!! but then I guess we are in Italy !!!!
