Train ride and boat to San Fruttuoso!

9/6/2019

Hello everybody! Today I had a day trip east. I had some doubts about the trip though, as it had rain during the evening and was cloudy during the morning.
It started very early, I woke up at 2am, needing to go to the bathroom, and went back to bed and set the alarm on 5.10. So I could get a stressfree morning until the train at 8.26.
I went to the train station at 7.30 and bought the tickets to Santa Margherita, which were cheap, and it went quick to buy. Most of the time I try to buy train tickets at a station, the machines to accept my card.
So waited a bit at the station for the train, and it arrived on time. The train ride didn´t take long, as it took about half an hour.
I then walked from the station to the harbour, trying to find where the boat to San Fruttuoso were going from. Found it relatively quickly and the ticket booth opened at 09.45, so I had a look around Santa Margherita for a bit until the booth opened up. I bought a return ticket, which was quite cheap.
The boat left at 10.15, and went to Portofino first.
I didn´t get off the boat, since I wanted to get to San Fruttuoso, and after dropping some people off, the boat left for San Fruttuoso, which is a very small place, that has a church/abbey of sorts.

You may wonder: Why do I want to go there?
Well, It´s because it has a item from my Bucket List, namely The Christ in The Abyss, which is a christ statue at the bottom of the ocean, and I wanted to see if I could get a glimpse of it (which I didn´t sadly).
I had a look around the abby, which were interesting, I would have explored more, but I only had about 1.5 hours since the last boat left at 12.30. So after being in the abbey and looking around the area, I headed back to the boat, which took the same route back, going via Portofino to Santa Margherita.
This time, I decided to have something to eat, and since we are in Italy, I should have a pasta dish.
So I went to a restaurant and had a Pesto dish, which were good, and I also had some dessert as well.
I decided to head back to Genoa, so I walked back to the train station, and waited for the train, which were a bit late. But it eventually came, and I managed to get to Genoa relatively quickly. I headed back to the hotel, as I was tired, and have chilled since then.
Tmorrow I will probably have a chill day. Since I don´t have anything planned.
