Looking back at Corniglia from the north |
|
|
|
|
Cacti, olive groves, and marvelous century plants! |
|
|
Looking ahead to Vernazza and Monterossa
|
|
|
|
Entering the outskirts of town |
|
|
Mary and Jesus outside a villa as Vernazza comes into full view |
|
|
Coming into town, not a car in sight |
|
|
|
|
Vernazza's beach is right downtown where the village square opens out onto the bay with the church overlooking. |
|
|
After taking a swim and bathing in the afternoon sun for a while we had a delicious supper at an open cafe in the village square. |

Beautiful Vernazza! It was hard to pull ourselves away, but the day was drawing to a close. We caught the train for a couple stops and took the local bus back to Volastra for the night, ready to hike the Via dell' Amore the next day. |
