Day 32 This place has a nice feel to it so we decide after breakfast to stay another night, have a lazy day today and do the Cinque Terre tomorrow (with some helpful advice from the hotel staff).

A QUICK STROLL FROM SAN TERENZO TO LERICI Today we got up late as usually and went to San Terenzo were Davids other Aunty lives Gisella.

Then fish little fish like gold fish and they are nice. If I could live anywere in Italy I think it would be here the beach is small and it's just such a nice place to stroll through. You can walk from San Terenzo to Lerici and just let you mind go somewere else. It's very peace full but lots of lovely little bars and shops to look at on the way.... read more
