We started the day with a hike. YES WE HIKED!!! Across these scary scary mountain passes barely wide enough for two people and with no handrails, but the view was AMAZING! It was about a four mile hike in all and it pretty much wore us out. See Vernazza behind us from the trail leading to Corniglia.
Below is an example of the views you see from the trails high above the sea. Corniglia is in the background.
After our hike we put on our swimsuits and actually got into the Mediterranean. Ok, we just put our feet in, it was cold! That didn't stop the crazy Europeans in their white speedos from jumping on in.
After putting our feet in the ocean we hung out on the rocky beach and enjoyed the unbelievable weather.
We're headed to a late dinner and then some sipping of red wine from our room that faces the beach. We have a great view right in the middle of the hustle and bustle, if you can call it that...Strangely, there are many more Americans here than anywhere else we've been. It is weird to hear English so much again!
We're off for a five hour train ride at 7 in the morning! Ah! So we'll be resting up tonight. See you tomorrow for our next to last post!
Ciao from Cinque Terre!

And just think.....we get to go over to QUAINT E.B. I am really jealous now. Glad to hear that Tuscany was better, better, best........that's what I've always heard...and it sounds like the castle was exquisite...wonder if his rates are going to skyrocket once the renovation is complete....
Think I'll take a pass on the hiking, especially those mountain passes...I can just see myself going over the side after an attack of vertigo.....
Love to you both...looking forward to hearing ALL about the trip....
Be safe and God bless you both....
