view of manarola from the "via de amore" pathway
view of riomaggoire
we love staying in our non touristy town of Colle d val elsa. we walk to eat at night and get lots of exercise walking up 44 steps to our upstairs room with a balcony overlooking the old town. real estate is expensive so buildings are tall and narrow!
At literally the crack of dawn we left our sleeping town and headed for Cinque Terre. It took 3 hours to get to these mountainous towns built directly on the coastline of the ligurian sea. their are 5 towns in the tourist area, but we only made it to the first two of them. we walked a pathway along the coast from riomaggiore to manarola, breathtaking scernery. tough sightseeing when the town streets literally were straight up and down. the drive back was challenging...the road signs are difficult to read and we made it without TOO many wrong turns.
