La Spezia - Cinque Terre

The walk between Riomaggiore and Monterosso

The City of Vernazza

"Today was Walk Day
The walk between Riomaggiore and Monterosso was twelve kilometres along the coast
and up cliffs and is apparently very famous
It took me about four-and-a-half hours
and that was stopping to take photos and chat and catch my breath!
The smells were amazing - lots of herby smells
And the people I passed on the way were very friendly
There were lots of hard-core walkers with their walking poles and spring shoes too
- I don't think it made it any easier
but they certainly looked like they knew what they were doing
I was pretty stuffed by the time I got to the end
so I took the train back and had an easy afternoon"
