Day 12 our last day in Levanto

So today is our last day in Levanto. We consider ourselves lucky since we were a day ahead that we could spend an extra day here. I just love making our own schedule as we go, something to be said for having your own sleeping quarters and not relying on hotel ressy's.

We have nothing special planned so we just walked around the town and hit up our favorites for espresso and then our morning pastries and shop for some of the local delicacies to take home. We soon found some bottled anchovies, locally grown Olive oil and balsamic vinegar though it's not aged like I wanted to purchase in Modena.

 These apes were everywhere in the area.They must be easy to manage on their tiny curvy roads

 Mark in the square with orange tree's in the background

 Lemon trees, some people had  tables set up by their house 10 lemons for 1 eu

 More of the gorgeous Wisteria


Then we had cocktails and and an appetiser at a beach side bar.


 Sporting our new sunglasses purchased on clearance, gotta love a great sale


Bruschetta with Brie and Olive Oil so yummy

We then went down the road for Focaccia that Angelo highly recommended



We loved Levanto and hopefully we'll make it back someday. Something of interest that you don't hear about is the calm being broken by loud crashing glass. Throughout the day everyday the trash trucks would go around emptying all of the recyle containers of glass. Imagine hundreds of glass bottles falling onto eachother as they are lifted up into the air and emptied into the back of a tiny trash truck and you would hear this as they progressed down the street and back up the next. We would just tell eachother what comes in must go out and laugh about it.
