Cinque Terre - Five days for Five Towns


Monterosso al Mare was our home for five nights for us to explore this beautiful coastline with the colourful cliffside towns.  Our apartment had a beautiful view and we enjoyed going up there most evenings after each day’s journey.  We hiked the trail from Monterosso to Vernazza, went on several boat trips, did a winery tour, swam in the sea (and I got stung by a jellyfish) , had some wonderful meals and have met some great people,  let our European adventures continue!

The hike between Monterosso and Vernazza took us about two hours, but that included snack/water breaks, and lots of stops to take photos of the amazing views.







It was so hot that day!  When we arrived in Vernazza we went straight to a seaside restaurant to relax and enjoy the sights.


Shirley and Ken found a local family winery called Buranco Winery in Monterosso on a morning walk one day so we returned for a wine tasting that evening, it was a beautiful spot.




We asked them to recommend a place for dinner so they told us they also have a restaurant in the old town so we decided to go there and try it out - the food was very good.  Earlier in the day we had been trying to pick a spot for our final night in town, we were so glad we hadn't reserved anywhere else as this little place was perfect.
