For our second day in Cinque Terre, we had another beautiful hike planned between Vernazza and Corniglia. However, Italy had other plans for us! The owners of the small hotel told us while we were eating breakfast that the trains in Italy were on strike. For how long? Anyone's guess!!! Since the trains were striking, there was no convenient way to get to Vernazza to start our planned hike. So we had to change our plans!!!
So we swapped planned days, and instead took the two hour boat trip to Portovenere. It was a spectacular ride as you get the views of Cinque Terre from the sea (and can get the scenery without the hard work of hiking!).
Portovenere is a gorgeous town as well. It is famous for its beautiful places: old castle, houses, churches and numerous caves. Plenty of gorgeous places to walk to and picture perfect places to just sit & sigh... and think about how wonderful life really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We walked around for about three hours, ate delicious foccacia bread and Italian gelati.
We made sure we checked the boat schedule and started our return boat trip at around 15.30. It was overall a gorgeous day!
Enjoy!
