Cinque Terre Day 3

On our third day we took a beautiful but rigorous hike from Riomaggiore to Vernazza. It started out innocent enough, relatively flat and even paved but after passing through 2 of the 4 towns we hiked, they weed out the lightweights and leave the real climbing to those who have lived in New Hampshire. It reminded me of Highway 1 in California with sheer cliffs on one side and the water on the other. Breathtaking.
