Genoa (Genova)

3 planes, 1 train and 1 bus later, we arrived in Genoa about 5pm.  Settled into our accommodation.  It's 8:30 and we're ready to turn in.  Looking forward to a 'horizontal' sleep.
On the hour or so of approach today, we were treated to the spectacle of the alps still draped in snow.  Simply breathtaking view.
We left Dubai about a half hour late yet arrived about 10 mins early so he must have had his foot down all the way.
We had a bit of drama when we arrived in Milan this arvy when the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.
There was nobody there to pick us up for the bus ride to Genoa. I eventually found the bus driver in the arrivals hall standing there like Nigel NoFriends wondering why his passengers were a no show.  But we had all been waiting outside the terminal where the airport staff told us to wait for any private transfers. When we finally hooked him up with 2 dozen aussies getting a bit agro after about an hour of mix up, we had to fit everyone and our gear into the Tardis for the couple hour journey to Genoa.
Anyway we all got here intact so all good.
Tomorrow we board the ship and literally sail off into the sunset.
Catch ya!
