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.

- Day tripping to Portofino
Hiked to the port for our day-long boat trip. Disembarked for an hour in tiny, picturesque Camogli. Had coffee on the harbor at Sea Bar Bistingo then popped into an unexpectedly beautiful church with filled with gilt and crystal chandeliers. From the sublime to ridiculous, our next attraction was “the world’s largest frying pan”. Back on boat to San Fruttoso then a different boat to Portofino, our desired destination. Excellent lunch on the harbor at La Stella founded in 1850. Afterwards, took a long flower-filled hike up and around almost to Paraggi. Took the boat back to Genoa, aperativi port side then dinner at a tiny local restaurant with Genoese specialities.
