How beautiful and what a fabulous place to begin our holiday. A bit of strenuous walking and fantastic scenery really set us up for the start of our trip. We were perched up on a hillside – yes a bit of a climb to get there, luggage and all – but away from the crowds in the little village. Extremely peaceful and serene setting. Met some nice people from Sweden, USA and Aussie. Nice to chat over breakfast or dinner out on the balcony!
We walked the paths between the 5 villages, bar the short section that was closed and had some amazing views along the coast line and of the little villages as you came upon them. There is only the one real beach place, Monterossa, with all its umbrella’s and deck chairs, (photo) though others had little harbours that people swam in as well. It ended up being quite a hard day as we ended on the last walk that was a climb and descent and nothing much in between! However just beautiful and we got some great views of Vernazza where we are staying (photo of small harbour and village). Lazy as today and off to Siena tomorrow.
