After breakfast at the hotel, we walked a short distance to the train station.
It was about an hour train ride with our first stop being Riomaggiore. This is one of five small villages that make up Cinque Terre. You can see that again there are lots of stairs and it was quite hilly.
The view was spectacular from above. The village is built right on the edge, as are all the five villages.
Another beautiful cathedral inside.
Time for a cup of coffee!
We had an interesting lunch in Vernazza at an outside café.
Two of my friends had this seafood salad which was not what they expected!
Clothes hanging on the lines in all of these little villages.
How nice it would be to have a little place like this to buy croissants!
We then took the train to Monterossa.
Lovely cathedral. The stripe was interesting I thought!
The beaches were pretty here but the sand is nothing compared to Orange Beach or Gulf Shores!
I stopped for gelato once again!
It's easy to find gelato stands!
We took the train back to Santa Margherita Liguria, then a short walk to our hotel.
We were on our own for dinner that evening so five of us walked a short distance to a nice restaurant and all of us had spaghetti!
It was one of my favorite days of my trip!
*****
We had a wonderful weekend, including my birthday celebration, and I'll recap that later.
