Description
Portofino is one of the most beautiful and romantic places in Italy, maybe in Europe.
Its coloured houses around the port form a very special scenary. As you can see there are many boats and ships in the harbour. There are even much bigger ships, cruise ships, that have to wait a bit outside on the sea and their passengers arrive with smaller boats for a visit.
The day I took this photo was a very hot (at least 100 F) and humid day. Later they said it was the hottest day of the year so far.
In order to take this photo we had to walk uphill, but it was all worth it when you see the result.
There are some more photos in my gallery with a view over Portofino from top of the hill.
By the way: we also walked along behind the houses on the opposite side.
All in all: if you ever have the chance to see Portofino-don't hesitate, just do it and you will be excited:-)
