Cinque Terra

Cinque Terra - 5 towns. 5 tiny towns along the west coast of Italy all linked by a walking path and train. All five can be reached in about 5 hours. Or 15 minutes if you are lazy (by train). We did 4. Got to the forth and thought.. ehh.. 4 is enough.

Really what we wanted to do is relax:
Cinque Terre is famous for PESTO! We bought some for about 3 euro, some noodles, bread. Viola! A masterpiece. We loved just hanging out in our little rented home. My favorite? Watching Walker Texas Ranger in Italian.



This was our home base. Our place is on the right. WAY to the right. The one with the view of nothing. Sorry the pic is a little crooked, it wasn't me. I think the town leaned over.



It's all beautiful. This is the fourth city. So when we got here we just called it a day. No way the next town would be better. So we hit the train.



Took the train back. The towns are in the cracks between mountains. So the trains cut through the mountains and peak out just enough to let people on. Looks like a scene from Mister Rogers neighborhood.
