CHASING THE STORM

There was an almighty storm last night. So much so, that floods have been reported in some parts of Genoa.
But this morning the storm had moved on and the weather seemed to have calmed down. I decided to have a little stroll on the Passegiata Anita Garibaldi in Nervi to see what the damage was.

Only couple of months ago this beach club was full of people enjoying a very hot weather under the umbrellas. 

It turned out to be a very pleasant day, mostly sunny too, temperature around plus 18 C. The sea had a different sound though, angrier than normal. But for some people it was the perfect opportunity to try and test the elements: members of the local canoeing club were out enjoying  some white water rafting and fishermen were trying their luck, too!


Canoeing in these conditions requires a lot of skill and it is clearly a lot of fun too!
