Finale Ligure
Finale Ligure is a comune on the Gulf of Genoa in the Province of Savona in Liguria, Italy.
It is considered part of the Italian Riviera.
|
Finale Ligure is located directly adjacent to the Rock of Caprazoppa, a steep limestone mountain on the southwest, and much of the town extends up hill slopes. |

The first Palm Trees we have seen since San Diego! Feels like home! |

|
Meditating with Steph |
|
The Love locks made their way to Italy! |
|
Through the cave, |
|
opening up to the ocean |
|
This day I learned to respect the ocean... |
|
I dared to climb the rocks to feel the ocean spray and the adrenaline rush
of the waves pulling me away... |
|
I got my fix and should have pulled away but my timing was off, I did delay, slipped from the rock and was sucked out to sea,the current was strong but my will stronger and within three waves I was back on shore with a greater respect the ocean for sure. |

That was enough of Manarola for the day. We grabbed our bikes and headed on our way. |

The area is famous for its many lemon trees. It is also renowned for its white wines, grapes, and olives. |
