Travel day today, up at 6.30am to get to train station by 7.30am for an 8am departure. Train was good it is divided into small 'cabin like' room and you can shut the door with 6 seats in each comfortable, but being typical kiwi we didn't realise our tickets were for 1st class until the last 20mins of the 3hr trip ha ha what goobers we are, had fun anyway. Arrived in Monterosso at 11am walk to the hotel via a tunnel, we are just 200 metres from the sea, it is stunning scenery a little bay with colourful houses joined together, painted bright colours.Our hotel room is one of the best we have had, it is really big, with a little terrace we can sit and watch the world go by, with a fruit/vege garden below us. Had a wander around the town found all the local amenities, then went for a swim in the sea, very nice a lot of the beach is private though you can hire seats and umbrellas for a small fee 15 euros each!! (that's like $25). After swim we did some much needed washing, it is our only domestic duty and you soon get obsessed about having clean clothes lol. Did some computer work and then went out to tea, at a little restaurant being a coastal town there is lots of seafood on offer, so we had pasta with fish yum, and watched the sun disappear behind the mountains.
