Cinque Terre

Our second stop in Italy is Cinque Terre, a World Heritage listed area on the Italian coast often called Hidden Italy. There are 5 coastal villages linked by boat, train andfootpath.
We have parked the camper at Levanto (one station north of Cinque Terre) and taken the train to Riogaggiore and walked back to Monterosso. It took a full day but we visited every village.



We plan to stay here 4 days and enjoy some more walks and take some boat trips. The walks are amongst the terraced vineyards and olive groves or just along cliff faces. It has challenged me (Jane) as I am terrified of heights but the scenery was spectacular and not to be missed. We were often walking along narrow unfenced tracks with a serious drop towards the ocean. Stephen kept saying this must be the narrowest part only to have to change his mind round the next bend.
Next stop should be Pisa.
