The Five Village Hike

Monterosso is village number 5. It took me just over an hour to get to Vernazza village.

Vernazza is village number 4:


It took me another hour to get to village number 3; Corniglia:

Manarola is village number two and from Corniglia to here it took 45 minutes and 382 steps switch backing up hill!:


The first village is Riamaggiore and to get here it took 20 minutes.

My calves are screaming at me but it was a beautiful hike! There were not many people on the trail and the plants along the way were beautiful.... I ended the day with another great swim and dinner at the hostel as my legs would not take me back down the hill for dinner!

Looks awesome Tracy. Enjoy Rome. I was just reading about all the great sandwiches in Rome in the newspaper yesterday. I remember getting a sandwich at a gas station in Italy better than any sandwich I had eaten in Canada. Even gas stations have good food :)

Beautiful. I have friends who said the same about that hike. Definitely a trip I would like to do. Glad to see you're having fun. Hope Ontario gives you another kind of rest.
