Cinque Terre

A TRAINING DAY TODAY. As noted at dinner the previous note, there are regular trains up the coast. So it was 9.20 start and to travel back from Monterosso down to the southern/easternmost of the five villages.







The train stops at all the small villages along the coast.
Be careful don't step over the yellow line or you will lose your foot!




The warning to stand behind the yellow line was well founded -- the goods trains race past without slowing, blowing all asunder.

Our first stop was Riomaggiore, the furthest of the 5 villages.




It was beautiful weather so everything looked fantastic! A sharp drop to the ocean.






Then it was on to Manorola, where we stopped for a coffee while admiring the bathers.










No sand just rocks!




You can't expect cinque terre in one post so stay tuned!
