The girls took the train and met us in Monterosso, the biggest of the 5 towns.
The restaurant we ate at (brilliant idea to make burgers with focaccia) is in a building over 600 years old.

Second last night in the Italian Riviera! As promised, here are some spectacular images of Riomaggiore by night. The vibe in this town is very relaxed and chilled. A very good way to end a week longRead more

Sadly, time to bid farewell to the Italian Riviera. As a final tribute let’s appreciate the balcony views while feasting on fresh mussels, regional wine 🍷 Limoncello 🍋 and cannoli…

Your pictures and videos have been just delightful to see, you certainly have done justice to this lovely place the deep blue of the sea looks so inviting. You will certainly have so many marvellous memories to have for years. You certainly didn’t need to take a camera with you. Well done.
Very envious of you and Richard ---What a wonderful time you are having --could almost go the Mussels and all the food you are experiencing !!! [Dad and Mum XX👀😜👍]

Sind dann nach einem Mittagessen und Nickerchen dann doch mit dem Rad los, (hatten wohl noch Strom für 18km) als es dann kurz trocken war. Ziemlich steil bergab, viele Treppen, aber Komoot wollteRead more

Sounds really good Troy . Love your blogs !! Say hello to Sandro for me !!😍👀😜❤ [Dad and Mum XX]
TravelerHe was so kind and helpful here. One of his staff came and collected us from the station and took us to the accommodation which was lovely. Complete opposite to most of the people in Vernazza . Haven’t met Sandra but hopefully will today. everyone was really friendly here. It is so nice having an apartment with two bedrooms and a really big balcony! And it was only €500 for both of us which I think is about $350 a night between two of us. The best value accommodation we’ve had so far. The prices are not really cheap here like they were when I went to Tuscany. They probably put them all up for the tourists. Oh well, that’s the way it is so windy in Rome… X

La Spezia war uns zu sehr Stadt am Meer, Marinehafen zwar interessant aber für den letzten Urlaubstag irgendwie nicht passend.
Also weiter Richtung Norden und mal die Cinque Terre ins VisierRead more

Wow! Wow! Wow! ☀️🤩
What an amazing experience this was!
Nessum Dorma is a renowned restaurant that sits above a cliff top in Manarola. This is one of the few ways you are able to get inRead more
TravelerOh what an experience! It sounds absolutely amazing. If I ever get to Cinque Terre I’ll make sure to book this. Bravo Simone! Manarola is the nicest looking imo. It’s iconic and those crystal clear waters?? It made me want fly over and dive in. Like you said Troy this looks like the perfect conclusion to your cinque terre adventure. And this blog was the best thing for us to experience it vicariously through your posts. Mille grazie signore xx
TravelerThanks Ephie! I have really enjoyed writing my thoughts down like a diary in a way… I hope you shared it with your mum… Funny you should say that about Manarola because I think that and Monterroso were the absolute best. Probably equal first. Although, I absolutely loved Rapallo and the walk down to Portofino on the first day. The towns had less tourists and more locals just living la vida loca! 👍🏻❤️🥰
