Well what a saga we had trying to find accomodation in these five UNISCO protected towns. But after a mini melt-down and a chat with a yank, we found a cute little room in the town of Vernazza.
Vernazza was one of the tiniest little fishing villages we have stayed in. It had a train station, a coble stone street, half a dozen restaurants and mini market, oh and a cool little bay.
The sole reason for us coming, was to do the Cinque Terra Walk that takes you through the lemon groves and wraps around the cliffs through all 5 towns. Little did we know that most people only do the "easy" section from the last 2 towns. We found out the hard way by doing the hardest part first and ended up on more of a hike than a walk. 3 hours later we were back in a town and we had a quick team discussion
(more like, "Lee, can you be stuffed doing the next part". Reply "Nah"). It was decided to just go a bit "easier". Not really piking, just skipping quantity for quality. But it was actually much nicer and still took us a good part of the day.
We spent the rest of the afternoon jumping off the pier, where Brooke gave instuctions to Lee to get cool shots of her diving in so that her kids would know she once did fun stuff!!On our third day in Cinque Terra, we went to the beach and lazed about, read books and just generally chilled out. That night we met a great couple Dave and Emma who are from Sydney. We spent our last night talking to them until the early hours of the morning, but it was great to have conversations with some other than each other.
