Breakfast on La Poesia's terrace.
 

Monterosso is the most touristy of the 5 Terre. It has a beach and several hotels and is accessible by bus.
 

 

This exit brought to you by Aperture Science.
 

The hike from Riomaggiore to Manarola took only about 30 minutes.
 

 

The town of Manarola built into the cliffside.
 

Along the path to Corniglia, there was an artist or two selling his work.
 

 

 

These germans were trying to pry up plants along the trail to take home.
 

For some reason, Beth had no problem with this rope bridge.
 

 

It's a long hike up the stairs to Corniglia.
 

Lunch was pesto pasta with a great view.
 

Corniglia's clock tower.
 

Politically incorrect wine and beer selection.
 

 

Liquors local to Cinque Terre. The towns have a sort of non-compete clause that says that they will all sell the products of the region.
 

Corniglia
 

 

 

This vine that has grown up and out of a building travels up to the second floor balcony.
 

Detail on a second story wall.
 

Let's meet at the giant ice cream cone.
 

Don't scare the tourists away. This was at the filipino shop.
 

View of the coast at sunset from Monterosso.
 

 

A painted fancy detail on this building.
 

Got Chicken?
 

We ate at Pizzeria La Smorfia. Seafood pasta and pizza.
 

 

More giant food.
 

Awesome insect death machine. The light attracts the bugs. The fan chops them up. The screen behind the fan catches the bits so that a minimum amount of guts hits the cash register behind it.
 

Back at La Poesia for a good night's rest.
 

We took the train to the farthest town, Riomaggiore.
