A Day at the Cinqueterre

Too busy with our guests, Geri and Karen, to write much but here are photos from yesterday's excursion to the Cinqueterre.


We took the train from La Spezia to Vernazza and acted like tourists. Note the shopping bags.


Karen, Dom and Geri


View of Vernazza from the breakwater/pier.


The church and laundry hanging in Vernazza.


Hillsides above Vernazza are covered in terraced vineyards. The DOC Cinqueterre vino bianco is quite tasty.


Colorful fish boats in tiny Vernazza port.


Lovely Madonna icon in Vernazza's Santa Margherita church.


Looking back at Montarosso, the most northerly and largest of the Cinqueterre towns.


Another view of the craggy terrain.


Town of Riomaggiore from boat we took from Vernazza. The former is the most southerly of the towns.

We are off to see the Giro d'Italia this afternoon!

I LOVED Cinqu Terre. We were only going to be there for 3 days but stayed 5 instead.
Tell Grandma Geri Angela says hello! (Andrea sent me the link to the blog).
