My last Euro Trip post left us in Verona. We were there for a couple more days there and, although there were not many fancy cars, there were quite a few interesting affordable cars. We then drove to the Cinque Terre area, where there were not many cars to see as we were walking or taking the train, like most other people.
Italy (continued)
 |

Genova
Our next stop was Genova, a lovely city we were all discovering for the first time. We had a really nice apartment with a lovely view, not too far from the city center.

Our next stop was Imperia, a quiet town on the Mediterranean coast that was not as glitzy as the towns we would later visit on the French side. From Imperia, we took a day trip to San Remo. Sadly, I was not able to find a Rally San Remo t-shirt.

Back to France
After leaving Imperia, we headed back to France. We stayed in the lovely city of Antibes, but on the way we stopped at Menton, and again in Monaco (Alex and I both felt our first stop there had been a bit too short). I will make a separate post about all the car spotting we did in Monaco. From Nice, we flew home, and that was the end of our one-month-long family trip. We all enjoyed the trip, but I was glad to be home while there is still a good chunk of summer left!
Cool cars I spotted but could not photograph:
Civic Type R FL5 in Innsbruck
Porsche 928 in Insbruck
