Santa Margherita Liguria and
Portofino
   Santa Margherita(ville) is another beautiful town and the gateway for Portofino, a picturesque fishing village.  We had a pleasant walk down to the harbor.  Santa Margherita was 80 minutes away via two trains.  
  We walked alomg the harbor enjoying the beautiful buildings, churches and resort hotels.  We caught a bus in front of the Best Western Hotel.   It was crowded.  It wound it's way along the often narrow road, offering great views of the deep blue Mediterranean.   On the hairpin turns, the driver would lay on the horn to warn small, approaching cars to "WATCH OUT,,,I AM BIGGER!!"
   PORTOFINO, Italy is a gorgeous fishing village and resort where famous Hollywood stars like Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn,  and others, have been coming for years.  It was told that Gretna Garbo liked to stay here.  She would often sneak down at night to the harbor and go swimming in the nude.  Little did she realize, half the town was watching.  😂
We all had great food at a sidewalk cafe next to the harbor.  I ordered a pepper fillet steak.  It was awesome!  Five thumbs up!     😆
   The word must have gotten out that we were in town, because when we got on the bus for the train station, a horde of people crowded on with us.  There were so many we were standing in there like cordwood!  I met the short lady on my right arm.  She was from Albany, Oregon.  I told her, "We have to stop meeting like this!"  She agreed.
   It was dark when we got home.  Just about right!
