Lunch today in Portofino included a special homemade pasta with a fresh porcini topping. The waiter finished off the hot mix inside a huge wheel of Parmesan cheese, scraping off pieces of cheese which melted into the pasta. Fabulous!
Portofino Harbor and Fishing boats...
Sept 15
Woke up to a delightful continental breakfast with a softboiled egg in the hotel breakfast room before setting out for Portofino by bus. This is quite the resort town, but before heading into town, we did a hike up a very steep hill to get a great view of the town. The stores are all very high end but the restaurants were not as pricey as we had expected. There a couple of huge yachts moored in the harbor. We heard that P Diddy had been in town on a yacht three times the size of the ones we saw. It must have been more like small ocean liner. The highlight of today was having the chance to eat Porcini mushrooms three different ways between lunch and dinner. All three were fabulous and filled us with dreams of figuring out a way to grow them back home. Wishful thinking?
