Today Elspeth and I went to the Cinque Terre. We caught a train up to Monterosso and had planned to do some the walks between the towns. Unfortunately, all the normal ones were closed, so we decided to do some of the harder ones. We ended up setting out from Monterosso al mare on a walk to Vernazza, which was supposed to take about an hour and 20 minutes.
-Monterosso al mare
It was a lovely walk and started off with cool but pleasant weather.

Eventually, however, the heavens opened and we got a bit damp. As in soaking wet. We ended up back in Monterosso al mare we know not how, and, sopping wet, headed back along the 20 minute walk over the headland to the town’s train station.

We were very glad to get warm and dry again.
