Chique Terre

We weaved our way down to the coast and unloaded the car at Monterosso after finding some handy accom in the most western of the 5 terrace towns. We walked through the towns tiny streets and over all its boardwalks before stopping for dinner at a very reasonable oceanside restaurant. After a good nights sleep we jumped on the train and caught it all the way to the other side of the Cinque Terre and started our walk back home along the cross country path. Two of the paths between the 5 towns were closed due to the remaining damage from the 2011 landslides that hit the area. The towns are small, colourful and full of handy helpings of food to help you with your walk. Not to mention the limoncello offerings along the way. The walk is fairly easy going and if you get tired you can just jump on the train that travels hourly through the towns. The weather was patchy but improved which made for some good pic opportunities. Its a great thing to do if you like the oceanside and countryside as you walk in amongst peoples small little pieces of paradise. After the walk we enjoyed dinner at a small but popular little eatery and headed back up the hill in the VW the following morning.
