Great trip to Portofino and Rapallo Italy. Luckily, it just happened to be during the Giro d'Italia bike race!! The weather was perfect. I love Italy!
We stayed at a wonderful hotel called Excelsio Palaceo right on the Italian Riviera. You could really get a feel for what it must have been like back in the 50's and 60's when all the movie stars hung out there. A truly amazing place.
Jasmyn and I where able to catch stage 12 and 13 and Bella joined us for stage 14. Finding the courses themselves was a challenge not to mention a good viewing point. Some how though, we managed and had an awesome time. Got to see Contador, Armstrong and many more.
During stage 14 of the Giro, we met a guy (Chistos) who is an Engineer for Ferrari and works with all the old vintage cars and clients. What a great job! He rode a beautiful Calnago C50; Perfect. One day, we rented a small 19' boat and buzzed around the Italian Riviera. Had a wonderful lunch at a cliff side restaurant (only accessible by boat) and even got up close to Paul Allen's 414' Octopus mega yacht. Amazing!
What a great trip!
