      Yes, that's true!

      I finally managed to re-do the previous 2 posts…

      The next morning we crossed the border and drove through Austria to Italy and reached Lago di Garda.



      We didn't stay long…


      …and reached Portovenere (a small Ligurian costal village) for dinner.

        Portovenere is supposedly quite nice if it wasn't for the weather - but that's what you get in February…





        There was a little church on a cliff at the end of the town…



        From Portovenere we drove along the Ligurian coastline…La Spezia with battleships in the habour.

        And further up the coastal road…

                    The next morning, the view from the window…


                    Camogli and its seafront is indeed a lovely little costal village being not far away from Genoa, our next stop.




                    One of the reasons to head for Genoa on this particular day was to meet with Mr Volvo, who took of part of his afternoon off.
                    Here he can be seen right in front of the church (on the left) next to Mrs Foxy.


                    Mr Volvo send me a picture in the morning of a cedro lemon from his father's garden…

                    This very lemon ended up being a present from Mr Volvo.

                    Genoa ended up being very nice experience, if not thanks to Mr Volvo for showing us the many corners of the old city.

                    The next day we drove the car through Switzerland to Colmar, France…

                          The next morning we hit the road hard and didn't stop until we were safe in the Alsace region of France, near the lovely town of Colmar.

                          Actually, we stopped at Bernard Antony's little cheese shop…


                          This little shop (and the cheese cellars underneath) is rather famous in the world of French cheeses and Michelin Star restaurants.

                          (Needless to mention that we bought a few cheeses to take back home to Moscow.)

                          Dinner was had in Colmar.




                          It turned out to be quite an interesting contrast after days of Ligurian cuisine.

                            The town of Colmar turned out to be as picturesque as Foxy remembered it.









                            We left Colmar around noon…

                            …in order to spend the afternoon and night in Nürnberg.

                            The trip back to Berlin and the plane ride to Moscow was pleasant but uneventful for a jet-setting bear.
