Journal Entry:
Did the Cinque Terre today. This is a group of five towns situated on the Italian riviera. They're only connected by train and a coastal trail. Met up with a group of American and Australians from the hostel. We took the train to the last of the five villages (Montorosso) and hiked back. All the trails are beautiful, with dramatic coastal views and stunning vine covered hills. The second town was Vernazza and we stopped at a great restauraunt for lunch and well deserved beers. We hiked to the next two towns Corniglia and Manarola, and from there caught a train back to Riomaggiore since the final short section of trail (the via del'amore) was closed. Total hike was probably about 10km and should have taken about 4 hours, but we spent 7 including stops.
