Despite our
slightly rocky arrival at the Cinque Terre, eventually we were checked in, had a car park in town and were ready to see what there was to see.
We went for a wander along the Via Dell'Amore from Riomaggiore to Manarola, slowly after having walked all the way back up the hill to get to the car!
While I took care of the laundry and people watched, The Sparky went for a wander and took some fantastic 'coastal' shots of the town.
I'm having trouble deciding which of the above two to print out for framing.
You can just make out the guys standing at the top of the middle rock formation - they were jumping!
As I sat and people watched a number of pre-teen boys went past pushing bicycles up the hill. I'm not sure if we've established this yet but it was a steep hill and I was having trouble working out where they were riding from.
A bit more wandering later and we came across this -
It's not a big space, particularly compared to what we're used to in Australia, but apparently it is better than not riding at all.
It also afforded us the opportunity to get some really nice photos ...
In fact, we got so many nice photos in our two days here that I think I'll save some up for next week ...
