Europe 25 Jun 14 ...and so to the Med


Day 20 Weds. In yet another thunderstorm we packed up and said goodbye to the beautiful Lake Como and headed south towards the med and, hopefully, some sunshine. Once again we were caught up in some fairly heavy traffic and downpours around Milan, but soon got onto the clear roads and hit the med around Genoa, following the bridges and tunnels along the coastline before arriving at a small campsite at Imperia. We walked along the coast into town and were unimpressed. Imperia could be stunningly beautiful, with lovely architecture and a beautiful setting. However, it is dirty, shabby, litter-strewn and very run-down. There must be plenty of money around as there are huge private yachts moored in the massive marina, but let's say that none of that dosh appears to be being spent on upkeep, although they were laying some lovely new paving (why, when the rest of it needs so much work). The site itself was probably once very nice, but now more of a Dale Farm. We were pleased to move on.
