CORNIGLIA: terzo di cinque in Cinque Terre
7-8 May 2022 Steve woke me this morning. He was rather persistent at 7:20 am, like I was missing breakfast of something. The day was bright and sunny, I could hear the waves splashing against the rocks below my balcony, an express train was rumbling through the tunnel under Manarola. I guess Steve was right, […]
Trekking Cinque Terre: Corniglia to Vernazza
Leaving one sole in Corniglia, the other in Vernazza 7 May 2022 The Azure Trail is a mostly easy upper trail connecting Corniglia to Vernazza. It is an easier climb because I start out at around 330 feet above sea level from Corniglia. The upper, or high trails tend to be older, more in tune […]
Trekking Cinque Terre: Manarola to Corniglia
5 May 2022 The Cinque Terre has a way of distracting you from reality. Emphasized in the brochures about the area are the 377 steps that one must climb from the train station to reach Corniglia. However, once trekking the higher trails of the park, these 377 steps look like child’s play. The uneven stone […]
MANAROLA : secundo di cinque in Cinque Terre

Trekking Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore to Manarola
I won’t let the vertical terrain intimidate me 3 May 2022 My first trekking day along the Cinque Terre went from Will Wheaton’s “No, no, Hell no!” to “I think I can, I think I can” before reaching a resounding “Eureka” much as the Donner Party must have felt when reaching the West.
Riomaggiore: primo di cinque in Cinque Terre
2-3 May 2022 One can ride a bus, train or ferry; I chose to ride the ferry from La Spezia to Riomaggiore. To say arriving at the Cinque Terre by ferry is spectacular is a vast understatement.
La Spezia, Liguria, Italy
29 April – 1 May 2022 La Spezia, southernmost entry to the famed Cinque Terre: it has taken me three years and three tries but I have finally arrived. No rush, no stress, no problems. Hopefully. Covid has not chosen to disappear but I have chosen to take back control and live within the parameters […]
