- Days 9 & 10 -
These towns along the coast don't allow for much vehicular traffics, so we arrived Monterosso al Mare (Town #5) by train. A porter collected our bags and we walked down the hillside into the town. Our group was split into two hotels, both lovely and owned by the same family. Before dinner, we were treated to a pesto demonstration. The smell of fresh basil and garlic is intoxicating!
The next morning, following a delicious breakfast buffet with homemade omelets, we ferried over to Vernazza (Town #4). A short hike to the hilltop offered some incredible views. We had a swim in the sea and some lunch before making our way back to Monterosso. After another swim we kicked back with an ice cold Limoncello. The perfect way to end a relaxing day by the sea!
