Images of the Cinque Terre

It was quite chilly when we arrived in Riomaggiore.

There were nearly 200 steps leading to our cliffside room.

The view from our room was spectacular!

A little red wine took care of the chill!

The Mediterranean was a beautiful azure color!

The trail leading to Manarola followed the shoreline.

There were vineyards everywhere.

The terraced hills were also dotted with olive orchards.

Eventually Corniglia materialized in the distance!

The bell tower in Vernazza dominated the waterfront.

Vernazza is the third of the 5 Cinque Terre towns.

Monterosso is the most developed of the towns.

Monterosso also has the nicest beach!

The buildings were colorful!

Shops were filled with brightly colored items!

Jars of pesto and olive spread lined the shelves.

Wine and bread were our staples!

We watched a gorgeous sunset from our room.

Each of the rooms had its own name.
