Our second day in Varazze was not as sunny, so we decided to hike up the mountain behind the town to a sanctuario (church) at the top of a hill overlooking the sea. It was a long walk, all uphill, and the kids were superstars! Oma had a brilliant (really!) idea of searching with them for pretty pieces of pottery on the trail (the trail was 'paved' with broken pottery and tiles in places). We split the load and carried Susannah on our backs the whole way. She slept for much of it. When we got to the top, it started to sprinkle, but then it stopped! We had a snack and then went back down to town and then drove home to Desio. The view was nice up there, but as it was cloudy and overcast, not as spectacular as it could have been.
