Cinque Terre Hike

Stone bridge on trail:



At one point there was a hole in the fence along the trail; a man in a shack on the other side was selling homemade lemonade, limoncello, and wine. I got a lemonade, Devin a limoncello. We could've used a couple more such stops along the way! The others in the photo are random hikers; there was quite a bit of traffic, especially given the drizzling weather.



Don't look down! For a large part of the trail, it was a pretty steep drop straight down into the Mediterranean hundreds of feet below.



Nets strung between olive trees to catch falling olives for harvest.



There was a staffed ticket booth at the start and end of each trail segment. Tickets to hike the trail were €6 each.

  1. So, it is drizzling. Must not be cold considering how everyone is dressed. That is some drop!!
    Great idea using the net under the olive trees. That would really come in handy here when the cherries ripen and fall on the ground.
