Day 10

We decided to take a side trip Portofino on the way back to Milan from the Cinque Terre. We were glad we did. We made our way to Portofino and had a very relaxing lunch by the docks. After lunch, we headed back out to Santa Margherita for a final walk along ocean before saying goodbye to the Italian Riviera. This was a perfect ending to our Italian vacation and I hope we have the opportunity to do it again.

Portofino is a big cruise destination. Ferrys brought in passengers from the cruise ships anchored in the harbor.
The harbor is surrounded by shops and restaurants.
After our lunch in Portofino we stopped in Santa Margherita. It's a beautiful town on the road that leads into Portofino.
