Levanto

It was a quick breakfast and a very quick walk to train station with my new luggage to catch the train to Pisa.  Got to Pisa then went and had a coffee over the road.  Think we might go back and stay on our way to Rome. Caught the train to Levanto and arrived here about 1:00pm.  Had a quick bite at the train station while sorting out where we needed to go.  Grabbed a taxi (don't think he was a taxi) and headed to our home away from home.  No one was here when we got here so the do called taxi driver rang and got them to come over.  Then the old guy told us of for not ringing and getting him to pick us up.  But any way we have a lovely place to stay, bikes to ride and our own balcony and a court yard that is part of an old artillery storage place. 

After dumping our gear we did a quick look round town but nothing was opened and there was no one around.  

So back to our home and I did some washing while Kate went biking to the laundry. 

Later on I went for a walk to the beach by myself to see what the sunset would do.  I was just sitting on the wall and this guy started waving at me.  I turned because I thought there must have been someone behind me, next thing he yells at me where do I come from.  I called back NZ and he kept on walking.  Next thing I know he is right behind me and he is asking why I come here at this time.   I said because there is less people. Next minute he grabs me in a hug and kisses me!  He then asks me to go with him and I said no I am waiting for my friend, he asks if it is a girl or a boy and I said girl and he grabs me again and says that's ok.  I then said I'm not guy! First bad move!! Then I get my cheek pinched and he goes for another grab!  Anyway I was running out of options as I couldn't really go over the wall and he was blocking me in! Anyway to cut a long story short and a couple of kisses on the head later and another pinched cheek he went on his way. After that I kept waiting for Kate to turn up so I could get away from there! 

Anyway I am looking forward to checking out these villages tomorrow and having fresh bread delivered to our door for breakfast.   Yummmmm!
