Cinque Terre – by land & sea

Day five (Wednesday) of our feet hitting Italian soil and we are off the explore Cinque Terra – perfecto.

Headed off after a lazy breakfast to Corniglia by train, going to be a very hot day so decide against walking a trail – and hopefully we can fit most of the villages in!

looking back towards the railway station – nearly at the top !

QSerenaded by an accordion player on the steps as we walked upto the village nectarines & beers in the little town piazza looking at the view.

Back down the stairs – onto Monterosso by train

the giant at the end of Monterrosso “libre” beach

Had our swimmers on but only paddled – SO.MANY.PEOPLE. Such deliciously hot day though, perfect for the cool waters of Monterosso. FYI – incredible lemon, pistachio and mango – best gelatetia (yes I had three scoops 🤗🍦)

Pizza and Birre Lunch and decided to go back by sea to Riamiggorie – the ocean, sun and the cinque Terre villages nestled in the coastline.

Ciao & bye bye Vanazza – will have to catch you next time xo

Back home, waiting for our dinner reservation time to draw near … Time to watch the sun play games with the village. Going to miss the church bells from the little Byzantine chapel behind our apartment too.
