Approaching Genoa at dawn. Genoa was fabulous and well worth a visit for a city break. A complete ‘find’. 4/

Liguria is home to pesto made from local pine nuts, pecorino made from local milk, local olive oil and basil. Eating it on this flat bread (Middle East influences?) was a joy.

Portofino (overlapped with Kidman’s visit). Been before, always a delight. Touristy, yes, but gets away with it and the prices are not over the top. Arrived by boat from Santa Margherita to introduce my husband to a place I have enjoyed before. 6/
