7th & 8th July 2011
Last night we were reminded we should remove our car from the carpark across the road by 6am in the morning, or it would be towed away, as Thursday is market day in Rapallo, and the whole carpark is used.
Sure enough, when we went to breakfast, not only the whole carpark, but the waterfront footpath along the shore also, was a mass of market stands. We had moved our car last night to a spot not far from the hotel.
Market stalls covered the carpark
and the waterfront
Before leaving for Milan Linate airport, we had a wander around the market and like everywhere, it was the same old stuff interspersed with some local produce and a few local handicrafts.
By 9am we were on the road to Milan. It was an uneventful drive, the most excitement being trying to find the service station at Linate airport, followed by finding the drop off point for rental cars. This required a few laps of the airport before sorting it all out.
Our flight to London had been delayed 45 mins due to late arrival of the aircraft, so we had lunch and wandered around a bit longer than we would have liked. We arrived at Heathrow Terminal 5 only 30 mins late and spent a few hours in the BA business class lounge awaiting our departure for HK at 9.30 pm.
We arrived in HK about 20 mins early and we settled in to our hotel by 6pm.
