Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, “the fine art of doing nothing” in Italian. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Our last day in Italy (for now)
Turns out Genoa is super hilly. We climbed up many, many stairs to Castello d’Albertis with great views of the port. Walked thru the Orto Botanico dell’Universita di Genova (botanical garden) which was in dire need of some attention from their gardeners. Trekked back downhill for lunch then discovered the elevator that would take us back up the hill to the Palazzo Ducale. Ran for the bus to take us even further up only to realize it was the “going down” bus, At that point, Karen, Ron and Nancy opted for some downtime in our rooms while Scott took off for a recorded walking tour. Drinks at the fancy hotel next door and dinner at our hotel.
