On Thursday we went by train to visit the other two towns, Manarola and
Riomaggiore. These again are very pretty places with houses tiered up the
mountainside, all looking out to the beautiful sea. Neither of the towns have
beaches, but the swimmers and sunbathers lie out on the rocks and enjoy the
gorgeous clear water.

Some swimmers are a little more adventurous, climbing the cliffs to dive off.
I just sat on the rocks and let the vacation come to me this time. I also made friends with some of the “locals” 🙂

On Friday we dragged the kids off the beach to at least see some of the other towns. We came again to Riomaggiore, this time by ferry. It was a delightful way to visit the area. Saturday is a travelling day. We got a deal on tickets to Firenza (Florence.) It was just a special “two for one” that the railway was offering. We catch one train to Pisa, where we change trains to Firenza. We’ll be staying at a small hotel near the centre of the city, which we booked again on a special before we left. I am told that they have wifi!
Posting again soon.
