A day in Ventimiglia

Today we caught the campsite shuttle bus into Ventimiglia for the weekly street market on the sea front promenade.

What a market it was too, endless stalls, just when you thought you'd reached the end you'd turn a corner and there'd be more.

It was busy, it seems people come from quite far afield, both locals and tourists.

It had a pleasant atmosphere though.

Later we walked to the Marina to look at the floating gin palaces moored up waiting for their owners to give the command.

Actually, I googled one or two names and they were all charter yachts including Rock 13 with it's distinctive black livery.

From it's website it looks like a party boat waiting for it's next gig of wealthy party goers.

It's quite a modern Marina forming almost a circle and has a Lovely walk through gardens with plenty of places to stop and check your bank balance and dream, if only ............

Next, conveniently there was a lift up to the medieval village on the top of the hill.

This was quite scenic with lots of classic Italian village houses, with five or six storys and with shuttered windows, washing lines strung between the buildings, churches of course and fantastic views of the Marina below and the Mediterranean Sea beyond.

So all in all, an enjoyable day in Ventimiglia

Here are some photos of our day.
