Yesterday we spent time in the Cinque Terre national park. Caught a train a few kms along the coast to the village of Monterosso al Mare then after a scrummy pizza lunch (all jammed into a tiny cafe) we set of to walk back to the next village - Vernazza. Spectacular walk up through vinyards and gardens following the old village route along the coast. Narrow stone pathways, zillions of steps and rocks and a couple of beautiful old arch bridges - along with breathtaking views - especially when approaching the next village. And a swim in the mid... quite ok if you walk out past the scum at the edge...... Ella, Charlotte and Cameron coped well with the heat and walking. A long but very satisfying day - finished of with a slice of pizza (of course) while sitting overlooking the view.
