riomaggiore







on the way to the train

the 8th day included:

• a train ride to vernazza, part of cinque terre, which is on the northwest coast of italy and sits on a cliff overlooking the sea --see sheri's photos here
  
• lunch at a cliff-side ristorante (which started out cloudy, then sunny as the bright sun appeared)
  
• buying beautiful olive wood cheese boards and bowls
• walking up and down the cliff-side walkways and streets (quite a work out)
  
• a boat ride along the coast to riomaggiore
  

. . . and ended with a train ride back to lucca where we ate another pasta dinner (i was feeling my pants grow tighter every day. . .)
