Today I took the train to La Spezia, on the Italian coast. From there it was off to the Cinque Terre - five gorgeous cliff top/seaside old villages, with a long walk connecting them all (or train or boat). Very touristy, and the one place I heard many Aussie accents, but really gorgeous!... Even with the stony beaches!! Started at this one, Monterosso, the farthest from La Spezia...
Then started on the hike to the next village, lots of up hill but really fun, took about 90mins and met some nice people along the way :)
And a view of Vernazza, the next one!
Yeah ignore the white stomach!! Was way way too hot to keep clothes on!
Cute entrance into the village...
Went for a swim down on this beach
Then The plan was to train the next leg, then walk the last 2, but discovered that those last two were not accessible due to a landslide last year!... So opted for the ferry instead... Which is lucky cos it was much later than I realised!
From here we can see the next few villages...
Back to LaSpezia for some super fresh seafood, followed by a giant gelato. I realised that thus far I'd only ever ordered the smallest size icecream, with one flavour.... So decided to amp it up!!....
