When I got off the local train that stopped at the villages of the Cinque Terre I carried a copy of the train schedule. That way I’d know when to be back at the station to go to the next stop. Once I knew how much time I had for my walk I decided to take in all the charming sights I could. It had rained earlier so I had a slightly soggy umbrellas in my bag. Although there were lots of visitors that day I managed to get away from the crowd and enjoy my walk. These are some of my impressions.
It’s a good idea is to have boats available…
Shopping for souvenirs
Steep steps
A door to…?
Flowers and shopping
Nice place for a walk
And wherever you are, there is the sight of water:
Check out Jo’s Monday walk here.

Gorgeous photos, mag. I loved the Cinque Terre, and must have walked through some of the same alleys as yourself. There were so many steps. :)

These lovely snaps brought back some great memories from my trip this year. I visited Cinque Terre for the first time in June and I just love these narrow little staircases and streets, colourful buildings and waterside villages and boats :)
