Cinque Terre Pics... a little late

Putting these pictures on makes me all sniffly eyed for Vernazza, which felt like home to us instantly. These are mostly in backwards order, and sometimes in no order at all, but it was tricky and time consuming so don't complain! We loooooooved the Cinque Terre, especially Vernazza in all it's colour and grit. Enjoy!


On our way to Manarola. By far the easiest hike.

Manarola.

Ababdoned house we explored on our hike to Corniglia. I was ready to move in!


The view from this place was crazy. It actually made my head spin.



Another view of Vernazza.




Behind our place.





The cats rule this town. That mat is his home, put out there by one of the store owners.


Pizza in Vernazza, just outside our room.




John the baptizer. In Monterosso.


Our little Vernazza.


Monterosso- beach town!




Arriving in Monterosso after a two hour hike.


We found a way to climb down to the ocean where we had a picnic (foccacia and pesto...mmm!)


On our way back up.




Corniglia!


Lex was pretty brave. This was from our temporary home town, Vernazza, to Corniglia.

Question - did you get anywhere near Amalfi? I have a niece that lives there. Your travels capture everything adventureous that ever could be ... I too am living a trip I have never even dreamed of through your eyes ... love you all, and a special hug for each of you.
