Rignano Sull’Arno to Porto Venere

---

Today we are heading back to the west coast and the Gulf of Genoa but on the way we had to make a stop at Pisa just to make sure that the tower is still leaning. Yes, it is. I must say that I found the Cathedral (Duomo) and the Baptistery (Battistero) just as amazing with its striking cladding of green and cream marble. After this we headed off to La Spezia and our drive into Porto Venere which is a lovely small village and one of the main sea ports that provide tourist boat access to the Cinque Terre (five terraces) towns which are 5 crazily constructed fishing villages set in some of the most dramatic coastal line. Due to the Cinque Terre area been hit by high winds all boats from Porto Venere were cancelled for the day, so we were force to spent the afternoon in the shelter of our bay enjoying the sun, some drinks and watching people arriving for an Italian wedding at the small Gothic church on the point. This made for a very fun afternoon people watching.
