What an interesting place. 5 small villages that you can hike to. Some paths were closed, but we did 2 of them First one was difficult… lots of rocky steps. Took over 2 hours. But beautiful views.




Took the train back to Vernazza where we were staying (thank goodness).
Next day tried a different trail from Vernazza to Corniglia. This was an easier hike. It took us 2 hours, of course with stops for pictures and a drink at the halfway cafe.





All these are very small villages with 350 to 500 or so people each. The villages are on the coast and are built on the cliffs of mountains. The people work hard, but love to play soccer, eat, drink wine, swim, fish and farm. Gotta love them.






to Florence next.
