1-2 July - we spent two days exploring Cinque Terre (pronounced chink-wa tear-ay). These are five small, delightful, colourful villages perched precariously on rocky coastal promontories. There is no road access, the only way to reach them is by train. You can also walk from one to another but unfortunately only one of these walking tracks was open. We took the chance to do this, it was an hour's walk and was actually quite steep and rough. We were glad to start early before it got too hot. Cinque Terre is a huge tourist attraction and it was very crowded. We were also warned about pickpockets, especially on the trains. Still these colourful villages were well worth visiting.
