On Saturday a chartered bus took us back to Firenza and everyone had their own reservations home. At least three couples were going back to Rome. The Carlson’s, Brenda and I had planned three nights in Cinque Terre, five villages built in the mountains on the Mediterranean. In addition to walking paths, the villages are now connected by a train, and together form a National Park. We spent the entire day Monday walking the paths and riding the train.
Our “room” is in Vernazza, shown above. A couple of photos from today’s hike are shown below.
After a strenuous day of hiking on Monday we took it easy on Tuesday, mostly roaming through the largest town Monterosso. The train took us back to Vernazza for a picnic lunch on the pier: foccacia, wine and gelato. Tomorrow we return to Firenza and Wednesday to Dallas.
Due to unknown technical problems, I have not been able to update the slide show for this tour. When I resolve this, I’ll post a blog to this effect. Otherwise, the next “planned” blog will be in (possibly) in February from California but definitely in April 2011 when we spend 4 weeks cycling in in Spain.
