We're so glad you came back! Have you been by our Boutique lately?
We’ve definitely gotten our exercise and it’s time to see the last two cities of Cinque Terre – heaven along the Italian Riviera. But this time, by train! Our first stop is Manarola.
I arrive at the train platform.
An easily pronounceable city, Manarola peaks out from the rock cliffs nearby.
Ok, my buff-n-tuff legs are now taking us to Corniglia, the third of 5 towns along the Italian Riviera of Cinque Terre.
Believe it or not, the public path connecting these 5 towns weaves right past this person’s front door. Gotta love people if you’re going to live here!
Everyone who has ever walked the path from Vernazza to Corniglia has to walk up these stairs as they pass by these private home entrances. With all those people walking by every day, notice how clean it is?
Ok, yawn, stretch, jump out of bed, it’s a warm day so dress lightly because we’re going to Vernazza.
I must first leave my apartment and see what my quaint pathway to town holds for me in the early morn.
This little plant has the right to flaunt its tenacity this morning as it says, "No dirt, no water, but that's not gonna stop ME from grabbing for the gusto of life on this barren rock wall."
Time to leave Siena. Destination the Italian Riviera with my first stop being Monterosso by the Sea.
I put on my backpack and decide to forgo the bus ride to take a long stroll from my Hotel to the Train Station. Seeing how life is beyond the travel books is what I’m after.
On the way to the Train Station I pass by a local Market that happens only on Wednesdays in Siena.
Siena's version of have-mall-will-travel. I'm stoked. Time to find a gift for my wife.
