Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera

Looking down on Vernazza


TUESDAY 10 JUNE 2008

We caught the train to Riomaggiore, in the National Park of the Cinque Terre and walked the 9 kilometers cliff walk to Monterosso al Mare, stopping to have lunch at Corniglia. The views of the cliffs and the Mediterranean were breathtaking. The flowers were beautiful and the broom had a wonderful scent. 

We had a well earned ice cream (beer for Geoff) and swim in the wonderful clear waters when we reached Vernazza, and another swim when we reached the end at Monterosso al Mare. We caught the train and arrived back in Santa Margherita about 8 p.m.
