Cinque terre

Today we finally arrived in the cinque terre area and parked and first checked into our room in Corniglia. We then hiked to Vernazza and secondly to Monterreso.

The weather was better but the trails and town were extremely busy with tourists.

It still is a magical place to think that folks developed and terraced these steep hills in 900 AD with limited tools and lived here growing crops on these narrow plots of land.
