A typical walkway to go into houses.
Cinque Terre - Five Lands, is a Unesco World Heritage site and I totally understand why. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful here. I was here for two nights and it was all good weather all time with an average of 30celcius.

Those five villages are, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. I was staying in the Manarola village and it was just stunningly beautiful.

Everyone here seem to know each other and always relax. All the houses don't have a driveway and the tourist who rent a car aren't allowed to drive into the villages. So, the ways to go between the villages is either by train, hiking or by their organized electric bus.

I spent most of the time walking the track between villages and enjoying the scenery. My day would usually stop at 4pm when I just sit down and read. It was the most relaxing time here. The food was fabulous here too. The local pesto was just devine and I also had the spaghetti with lobster.

Once again the icecream is just to die for. Especially when I spent the day in the sun and walking a lot, a big cup of icecream is well deserved.

They grow grapes quite a bit here and this would be a typical backyard of the house which is already on the hill anyway.
