Colorful buildings all crunched on top of each other, tumbling down to the sea . . . ancient drz stone walls holding tinz vinezards, suntanned Italian familes vacationing amid old Italians who have lived here forever. . . this is Vernazza+Five little villages which were completelz isolated except bz sea until 100 zears ago make up the Cinque Terre. Now thez are a vacationer's paradise.
This morning we took the boat from Vernazza (town 4) back to Riomaggiore (town 1) The sun flashed on the deep clear water and we saw all 5 villages from the Mediterranean. Wonderful+
Then we hiked the Via de Amore (Path of Love) from Riomaggiore to (town 1 to town 2) Manarola. This is an easz walk on a paved path along the cliffs that run down to the sea. The views are fabulous and we stopped at a little Imbiss and bought strong lemonade. It used to be an amunition storage, and now it sells food to hikers. This is progress+
Train from Manarola back to Vernazza and then we swam in the tinz harbor. There are little colorful boats and the water is so clear it's like swimming in a lake, only salty.Dinner under a cluster of bright umbrellas on the breakwater, and watch the sunset. What a daz+
