Cinque Terre (five lands) is a place that I really wanted to go to while living in Italy. Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the
rugged Italian Riviera coastline. In each of the 5 towns, colorful
houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces and the harbors are filled with
fishing boats. The five villages are Corniglia; Manarola; Monterosso al Mare; Riomaggiore; Vernazza. I booked a tour from Florence for the day. This was the one day that I really wanted good weather and I am so thankful that it was a perfect day. Our guides kept telling us that this was such a great day for this tour. The bus tour was interesting with explanations about Italy as we rode from Florence to the start of our tour. The tour started at the top of a mountain and we hiked down to the village of Corniglia where we had lunch. then we took a train to Vernazza and worked our way to other villages by train or boat. There were plenty of tourists but it was still pleasant. It was so nice that someone made all of the arrangements for the day. We didn't get back to Florence until about 9 pm. -Nancy
