Cinque Terre

Say cheese! Riet, Marie and the boys.

 When Riet visited, we all went to Cinque Terre, about 3 hours away on the coast. It's 5 towns on the water, at the base of a very steep hill. So they're pretty isolated. It is a National Park, very pretty.

This would be a good ad for gelato eh?

Normally the tourists walk between the towns (about 10kms to do them all). But after the rains, someone almost got killed by falling rocks. So the trail is mostly closed.

Portovenere

We jumped on a boat to got between them.



On the last day, we tried to push through by car. After a couple of hours of wiggling along clifftops, dirt road and half washed out roads, we got too scared and left.

Riomaggiore. Our bathroom arched over the alleyway.
