The Cinque Terre are five little hamlets on the west coast of the Riveria. They are the villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore
Like the Amalfi Coast (particularly Positano), the houses in these towns cling to the sides of the cliffs and it never ceases to amaze us how the people can live like this. Just imagine for example, having new white-goods and other furniture or essentials, delivered to some of these places where there are no roads and incredibly limited access. And I have complained about our driveway in Howrah!
Below is some of the beauty that is this region. Tomorrow we will go back to Manarola. (Old scores to settle).
