Well we made it to the Cinque Terre.... What an awesome experience!
We started off from Riomaggiore making our way through the 5 villages finishing at Monterosso!
The 9km walk took 4.5 hours through narrow paths (most of the way there were no barriers) so we were walking on the cliff face! It was rather high up - good thing you had to concentrate on where you were walking otherwise i would've been a blithering mess!
We stopped off in the 3rd village (Cornigula) and had a lovely lunch overlooking the village and water - really felt like our honeymoon - awww :) It was however short lived as we still had 2.5 hours of gruelling hiking to go!
Once we got to the end we finished off our day with a couple of Limoncinos - very yummy and Chris had a swim. Was very difficult to find a piece of beach to sit on. There was an empty part but they were charging 25euro for an umbrella and two chairs - not really worth it at 5.30pm!
We then headed back to Genova for a nice dinner on the balcony overlooking the port and city!
Early start the next morning - stop over in Switzerland (Bern)....
