Started the day with a firm determination to fit in at least one galleria before hitting the road for the Cinque Terre village of Manarola. David or Venus – biggest decision ! Dash to Railway station and check bags (easy! Who knew?). Figurative coin dose – it’s a Date with Dave at the Galleria Dell Accademia!
Huge amount of plaster moulds use as a template for making the real marble deal
Back to Dave
Feeling Uffuzzi regret but no time – train to catch! Dash back to station –
Purchase tickets to Manarola – 3 trains -eeeeeeeeek!!!!!
Rattle through Toscana, beautiful fields, houses, and those hills 😍😍😍. Successfully have navigated train changes, dash to catch train number 2 in 3 minutes adds some excitement with bags, people and steps up and down the subway between platforms. Arrive Manarola …
REALLY postcard perfect in every direction.
Bellissimo

Me off hunting and gathering for dinner. Focaccia & arancini + (Holy) cannoli! Bought one of each of the six different types because I couldn’t choose!
Buona notte molto bello Manarola
