The first photo is of a beach that is semi-private, meaning that you can still walk down this beach.
The next three photos were taken at the far end of SML (closer to Portofino) where I believe you need to belong to have access.

Gorgeous pictures! I’ve never been to Italy in the summer so your photos are like a window into the Italian summer of ’08.

Hey – isn’t that my hotel where I have stayed at twice, in the center of the top picture – for a week each time? The Lido Palace with the wrought iron balconies out the front.

This looks like such a beautiful day — and what a lovely town climbing back from the beach!

Wonderful photos! I assume you are happy with your new camera and luggage that you bought before this trip?

Sorry, hit “submit” too soon! And didn’t you buy some new walking shoes too? How did they work out? Inquiring minds want to know!

I love my new camera (although right at the end of my trip the focus started acting up). I still need to call Canon since it is under warranty. *update – camera heading back to Canon for warranty repair). I do need to learn to use more of the advanced features though.
I loved my new little carry on wheelie bag. Perfect size and good features.
Shoes…I wore my new clogs (which I mainly bought for rainy weather and the airplane) only on the plane. I could have easily left them at home leaving more room in my luggage (but if it rained, I would have wanted them). I wore my new chaco sandals a few times. They were comfy but my Chacos are still my top choice.

Thank goodness for warranties! I’m glad your new stuff worked out for you. I need to find a store with Chaco’s and try on a pair. I’m always on a quest for new comfort shoes.
