Cinque Terre, Itaty

To our dear travel friends, does this town look familiar? Portovenere looks like Portofino and so does every town in Cinque Terre. The colors of the buildings in all these towns look alike. Cinque Terre is known for the 5 mile hike between each of the 5 fishing towns, only accessible by foot or boat until 50 years ago. We reach the first town, Riomaggiore by boat. Two of the links between the towns are washed out and closed from the prior night’s rain. We hike what we can. The last link between towns 4 & 5 is 1 hour 45 minutes on an extremely unpaved and uneven rock steps (lots of them). It’s not easy but there are surprisingly lots of people on the path, mostly prepared. Thanks Robyn for making me do all those step ups. Adrienne, kudos to you for hiking the entire path!
