Today was another beautiful day here in La Spezia, the weather is perfect!! Today we set off for Portovenere along with Mr. Fish. (He was excited about getting out of the hotel room.) The scenery was beautiful on the road there but it did not compare to the beauty of the town and the surrounding landscape. We walked the narrow streets up to the San Lorenzo Church and then continued up to the Andria Doria Castle also known as the Portovenere Fortress. The view from this height above the town was breathtaking. We then walked back down to another church (San Pietro) that was built in the 6th century on a peninsula. The church has some incredible views. They were also preparing for a wedding as we walked though. We walked down to the harbor and had a late lunch at a waterside restaurant. We saw the wedding party pass by and then the bride passed in a small convertible. We returned to La Spezia around 6pm and then enjoyed dinner later that evening in a fine dining restaurant. I believe we will be returning their next week. And yes we ended our day with our nightly gelato run. (Life is good!)
