🇮🇹 MSC Cruise Stop #3: GENOA - Do This!

Must-see: The "Mini Cinque Terre" fishing village Boccadasse – absolutely stunning! 🌊 Morning Adventure ⏰ 9:00 AM - Docked right in the city (no shuttle needed!). 🚶 Walk 30 mins to Piazza De Ferrari, passing: St. Lawrence Cathedral Doge's Palace UGO Pesto Pasta (€5 for takeaway pesto pasta!) 🎫 Transport Hack: Buy a €2, 110-min bus ticket at the Tobacco shop (big "T" sign) opposite Columbus' House. Take the bus to "Boccadasse vista panoramica" (20 mins). 🏡 Boccadasse Magic: Colorful houses + craggy rocks + turquoise waves = 😍 Spent 2 hrs here—climbed the hills for epic views! ☕ Detour Drama: Missed our return bus (oops!), but a super sweet shop clerk helped us find a Carrefour Express to buy new tickets. She even made us a heart-shaped cappuccino! ❤️ 🍽️ Food Review: Bonus Fried Food (overpriced & meh after ownership change). UGO Pesto Pasta round 2—worth the 20-min wait! 🚇 Train Fails: Accidentally took the wrong metro direction 😅 Ticket expired at 3:09 PM, exited at 3:14 PM—no fine (police didn’t check!). Final Thoughts: Genoa’s city center felt grungy (like a "third-tier town"), but Boccadasse saved the day! Dinner on the ship: Naples-style eggplant 🍆 + juicy pork loin 🥩 + pistachio cake � = 10/10! Skipped seafood pasta (allergies noted by the attentive waiter). 🌅 Sunset Verdict: Deck photos were okay—not as epic as Instagram promised. #GenoaTravel #CruiseLife #MSCFantasia
