Cinque Terre

This was a long, hot, exhausting, and totally amazing day trip. We joined a group tour for this, which started with a two-hour bus ride west to La Spezia. Two short train rides took us to the second and third of the “Five Villages” along the coast. Then we hiked to the fourth, which was quite a steep up-and-down walk along a cliff overlooking the sea. One more train ride took us to the fifth village, and then a lovely boat ride saw us back to the first village. Beautiful views every step of the way!Read more
