Cinque Terre town of Vernazza
Any trip to Italy is not complete without a visit to the Cinque Terre. We skipped Pisa (but saw it from the train) and spent a few nights in Vernazza on the Cinque Terre after Florence. We were not disappointed. This place is heaven on earth.
Today’s photograph is from my seat in the restaurant (Ristorante Bar Al Castello right next to the castle) were we ate on our first night in Vernazza. The food wasn’t great (like it was just about everywhere else we ate in Italy including our other nights on the Cinque Terre), but who cares with a view like this? With a glass of wine, no food is really that bad anyway. The nice thing about Italy is house wine is about the same price as water, similar to how beer can be less expensive than water in Denmark.
