Hiking along the Northern Italian Coast

In recent weeks the region of Cinque Terre in Italy has been devastated by massive flooding and mudslides. Seeing the images on the internet I went back to see what I wrote about John and my trip there this past spring and realised I had not posted any pictures. So these are just some of the great pictures we took as we hiked from village to village. I am not sure when the trail will be reopened since it teeters on the edge of the cliffs in many sections but it was an amazing hike and our favorite part of visiting the area.
Hiking down to Manarola
Riomaggiore from the boat cruise. which after seeing all the towns from our hike the previous day was really nice getting a different perspective.
First glimpse through the trees of Vernazza
The towns which are UNESCO world heratige sites do not allow cars and are all made up of winding narrow streets.
