Rain Rain Rain. 4 minute ride to the Montorrossa. Skip for now and on to Vernazza.
Great town, samll boats, fishing village. Rain starts again. hard this time. Lets get out of it....in for cappacino. hey look pictures of their rooms. awesome. Dua dbl rooms please.
Off to explore next town. We will explore Veranza later.
Train to Cornglia. The rain keeps us from the hike. Way up on hill, alleys are up and down. no flat. rain subsides. Stop into wine bar. What a character the owner is. Carol took a photo of his boat in the water and recognized the symbol on his boat and the wine bar. The symbol is a jug you drink out of. pulling away from your mouth as you drink. Comes with a bib. is this a marketing plo for americans? Another glass please.
Walk to Manarola. a little muddy, great views. train to Riomaggiore. Grab a bite. Subpar pizza back to get luggage and check in hotel in Vernazza.
We check in and the woman takes us around the corner. Wish we had a photo of our luggage on our backs and Rob with his very large bag. she tells us up a few stairs and turn a few more stairs. We go up and up and up and up. 139 steps later we are at our rooms. the rooms are great. but nothing like the spectacular views from the terrace overlooking the water on the another bottle of wine and some cheese and bread we could stay here all night.
We meet a nice couple from Denver heading to the Lake Region. We tell them to stop in and visit AuGuisto and please get in to our restaurant. Someone needs to experience it if not us.
Off to dinner. Best all around it seems. We take in the local flavor with some Bianco and anchovies. Followed by pesto, spagetti with seafood. One more birra up to the terrace to watch the full moon come out of the clouds. What a spectacular time.
