Today was in some respects a repeat of yesterday: we awoke to rain, but fortunately it had stopped before we left the hotel. We wanted to go back to Santa Margherita Ligure in order to visit Villa Durazzo, but due to the fact that far fewer people want to visit SML than Portofino, the first ferry there only left at 11 am.
The grounds were very lush, and my wife the gardener enjoyed seeing various flowers and bushes. When we came to the villa itself, the time was 12:40 pm, and the last entrance before lunch was at 12:30 pm. So we had to wait for lunch to be over before we could go in: this was supposed to be at 2 pm, but was more like 2:15 pm; as a result, we (and others) had to wait an hour and a half before we were allowed in.
Anyway, the ferry soon turned up and took us back to Rapallo; we had a very late lunch at the same restaurant as the day before, sharing the pizza bianca tonno e cipalle between us. During the meal, it started to rain again, requiring some rearrangement of seating. By the time we had finished, the rain had eased of and the sun came out again.
