Second day "on the road". Today's hike took me from Rapallo to Camogli, but not on the Sentiero Liguria, which makes a detour to visit Portofino and San Fruttuoso. I've walked those trails many times before, and so on this long-distance walk I cut across the peninsula: from Rapallo to Dolcina, San Lorenzo della Costa, from there up to Portofino Vetta and then down to Ruta and Camogli. Only three hours, arriving in Camogli with plenty of time for a swim and lunch on the beach!

The church of San Lorenzo della Costa, where my path crossed the Via Aurelia, containing a 15th century Flemish tryptych and a couple of Luca Cambiasos

Looking over the olive groves back toward Rapallo and Chiavari on the way up to Monte Portofino

Looking forward to Camogli and farther up the coast towards Genova

Camogli - Genova: the part of the coast I will be covering tomorrow!

The perfect way to end a hike: a swim and a picnic on the beach!
