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 &#8220;two for one&#8221; that the railway was offering. We catch one train to Pisa, where we change trains to Firenza. We&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>Posting again soon.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE \/* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:&#8221;Table Normal&#8221;; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:&#8221;&#8221;; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} On Thursday we went by train to visit the other two towns, Manarola and Riomaggiore.
