Travel and painting on the coast of Ligure

It  took two trains and seven hours to get from Nice to Ventimiglia then to  Rapallo. Most of the coastline was lots of rocky beaches and distinct  towns totally different from each other. We chose Rapallo because of it's proximity to Portifino since it has alway been my sister's dream to there. this photo is the view from our hotel balcony.

Rapallo is more of a  vacation destination for Italians. It really gets lively at night with music along the promanade until 11:00 Pm. I reccommend staying Rapallo, as Portofino is very expensive.

The next Morning we take  a boat to Fruitoso, Camogli and  then Portifino. I took the opportunity to swim in this beautiful cove. It was quite luxurious to float there and look up at the small village surrounded by towering Italian Pines. 
Picture
Camogli is a small  town with pastel and shell encrusted buildings overlooking the harbor. 

Picture
Portifino has the beautiful villas  with cascading bouganvillas overlooking the water. It also has  a nature walk  above the  town.  This would be a great place to stay longer and paint if we had time.
