Cinque Terre - Monterosso

After travelling all day by train from Chiusi to Monterosso via Florence & La Spezia we finally arrived at the Cinque Terre town of Monterosso only to find out that the coastal tracks, between the 5 towns, were closed following an incident of rocks falling on a group of Australians. As the coastal tracks were closed the next day we decided to do an inland track via a church ( San Savierio) to Vernazza. It took us two hours of uphill walking to get to the church then a further 2.5 h down a goat track to get to Vernazza - a tough days walking. Only 2 of the 5 towns ticked of the bucket list. Oh well we have a reason to come back another time.
After a quick swim in the Ligurian sea we are now preparing for a relaxing evening before we travel to Lucca tomorrow.
