Move Over Enid, its another Famous Five!

Yep, it all makes sense... Cinque Terre is rather nice. Each of the 5 towns is a little different and it sure is some clever marketting. There are towns beyond the famous five which are also delightful and have the same magic of Ligurian sea at their doorstep, some with soaring cliffs but each with cute buildings.

Like Porto Venere... next to but not one of the 5...
Most of the Cinque Terre track is closed. (It might still be due the landslide over a year ago.) Only the track between Monterosso and Vernazza is open. We took the train options to visit the Famous Five. Perhaps tomorrow we might get some track action. So to paint a picture...

Riomaggiore... schweet little town...

Manarola, where we had a superb lunch at a restaurant recommended by Jenny Sargeant.

Four of the five towns are visible from Monterosso. The one hilltop town, Corniglia is seen here from Vernazza.
Picture
There are 310 stairs to climb if one wishes to get to the village of Corniglia from the train station. Loved everyone of 'em. Here is snap on the way down...

Monterosso, the home of the sun lounge.

Cute ain't it! Vernazza waterside
