Cinque Terre - what a surprise

The Cinque Terre is 20KM of coastline having 5 villages perched on the cliffs and connected by dramatic cliff walks, a train and not much else. We caught the train to Riomaggiore and then walked back to Corniglia in the middle of the group (thank heavens for the ecobus for the last half mile to the old centre) which was high up on the cliffs. We lunched on typical foccacia at Manalora and hopped on the train to see Vernazzo, the most photogenic of them all. What a spectacular and scenic day. Stayed the 2 nights outside Deiva Marina on a site which had a courtesy bus to the station and where Rosemary 'bonded' with an old Italian lady - like she does.
