Okay, I really need to get better at reading train
schedules in Italy.
We were on our way
to what we
thought was the Italian
Riviera beach town of Portofino, known for
celebrity visitors (Dolce & Gabbana! Armani!).
We ended
up in a
different beach town, Sestri
Levante.
Luckily, this wasn’t as bad as
the
Great Train Mishap of 2012... Sestri Levante was breathtaking.
And for less than $20, we had the time of our lives.
Sestri Levante reminded me of an Old Florida beach town,
complete with colorful murals, lots of umbrellas, and dozens of beach clubs.
But nothing about Sestri Levante impressed me more than
this:
I’ve lived in Florida all of my life and I’ve never seen a
beach toy like this! Here’s a view from
afar.

| Clearly this is not us on board, but you see the kind of fun that's commencing! |
Nothing is more relaxing and straight up fun than
paddleboating around the Ligurian Sea and going down a slide RIGHT ON YOUR
BOAT.
We went down forward…
Backward…
And jumped off the side…
Here I am at the helm while my captain directs the way.
When I got back to the states, my sister-in-law helped me
look into buying this kind of vessel for our waterways.
A little pricier than I thought at
almost $2,900, but I feel like it could be an
investment!
Who’s in agreement with me that all beaches in the U.S. need
this kind of paddleboat on the water?
Total Cost: €15/hour, almost $19
Best Deal: Following our boating trip up with gelato from a shop called “Simone.”
