Cinque Terre - Cornglia

I know that we have already done a post on Corniglia, but we wanted to add a few pics so you can see how beautiful it was. Corniglia is one of five villages of the Cinque Terre - the smallest and most quiet of the five. It is also the only one of the five NOT on the water...it's perched on cliffs several hundred feet above the water. In fact, to walk from the train station to the village is over 400 stairs, and A LOT of sweat! We loved it! We were able to hike/train to all five villages during our stay, and we loved that ours was much less crowded than the others. A short hike down to our little cove found clear, cool blue water, warm rocks, and very few people to share it with. So, here are a few pics... Jamie on our train ride to Corniglia...you can catch a glimpse of the coastline out the window behind her. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos This a quick look at the 400+ steps leading from the train station to town. We walked down, but never had to walk up them...we always caught a ride. Good thing too, cause normal people were drenched in sweat by the time they made it to the top...and we all know I am no normal person when it comes to sweat!

Our apt was the one next to the yellow house on the far right. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Jamie and I on our hike from Monterosso to Vernazza...Monterosso is the small town way behind us on the water. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos That's it for now. We will post again soon!
