Visit at GiuntiLabs, in Sestri Levante

An hour train ride, with a local train, from Genova Brisignole towards south, along the coast, to Sestri Levantem where I have an appointment at the GiuntiLabs. I take a local train, because I want to have the ride move slowly, and enjoy the stops on the way. The express trains (IC) take only ½ hour for the same distance, non-stop. While in Genoa the sky is blue and there is a pleasant sunshine, in Sestri Levante the sky is cloudy and hazy.

A very nicely located research laboratory! At the very end of a dead end street, at a bay, with gorgeous surroundings. GiuntiLabs is specializing in eLearning – they are involved in several interesting EU projects and Italian projects in this sector.

As the meeting ends, I could go further south, to visit the famous Cinque Terre. But the weather looks as if it could rain soon, and there would not be more than 2 hours of daylight left. I decide to head back to Genoa and walk a little more around there.
