Marvellous trip to Cinqueterre with my friends from Florence and Marta.
Nice little set of stairs in Corniglia. |
View from Francesco and Elisa room. The place at the top of the mountain is called San Bernardo. |
Corniglia from our hotel. |
More Corniglia action, this time the main church. |
View of Manarola from the highest Corniglia balcony. |
Nice contrast green plant (we eventually discovered that it is extremely poisonous) and the sea! |
Me, Marta, Elisa and Francesco while waiting for Simone and Mariachiara to arrive. |
Nice flower of unknown specie. Actually unknown only to me as everyone else seemed to know their flowers very well... |
Marta and the unknown plant. |
Me walking up some stairs in Corniglia. |
Francesco and Elisa. |
Marta, Franz and Elisa going to the sea. |
Me and Francesco on the same set of stairs. |
Francesco and Elisa from the top. |
Getting closer to Corniglia harbor. This is the only city in Cinque Terre that hasn't got a direct connection to the sea. |
A local getting tanned. |
Yet again THAT set of stairs... |
Fascinating flower of YET unknown specie... :P |
Nice flower that resembled an orchid but OF COURSE it is not an orchid. |
Franz and Elisa looking lovely. |
Marta protunding from the orange flower. |
Finally Simone and Mariachiara arrived! |
The church in Corniglia. Note the "BLESSED LIGHT" touching Marta on the right. |
Simone complaining about a straberry while Mariachiara and Marta feed on them like hawkes feed on helpless mice. |
"Lizard man"... 'nuff said... |
More flower action! |
Crossing the bridge towards Manarola. |
Manarola from the path. |
The water mill in Manarola. |
Manarola from the "Path of Love". |
A great looking flower! |
Me and Marta of the path. |
Another marvellous looking flower! |
Simo and Mariachiara... |
Rare shot with all of us inside! |
Riomaggiore from the harbour. |
A seagull. |
Walking up the cliff... |
Sunset at Manarola. |
Sunset and a nice "face" looking rock. |
More face-looking rock here. |
Manarola from Corniglia. |
Walking in the forest, struggling to get to San Bernardo. |
Watch it there!!! |
Corniglia from above. |
The party takes a rest at Pratomaggiore. |
Me with "Aaron's staff". |
Me, Marta and Aaron's staff. |
Walking down to reach S.Bernardo. |
Corniglia and the bay from S.Bernardo square. Marvellous! |
Nice little flower. |
Now, what a view!!! |
Goats. |
Mariachiara and the VOID. |
Vernazza from the top. |
More Vernazza action. |
Finally we arrived at Vernazza walking down the steep hill. |
Vernazza harbour and church action here. |
Vernazza from the old watch-tower. |
Corniglia from the distance. |
A local lady looks at me in a menaceing way... |
Monterosso at night from Vernazza. Picture taken around 9ish with a 15" exposure setting. |
The guy singing and Corniglia wine bar. The whole atmosphere was great, everyone sitting in the small street drinking marvellous wine and listening to blues/italian folk music. |
Ah! Kevin, Lankmar and Kyss finally together after a long time... |
Volastra from the bottom. |
Usually populated by icons of the Virgin Mary, this one features a biblical figure called "Drunken Dwarf". |
The party walking towards Volastra. |
Niiiiiiiceeeee... |
More flower action. |
Simone and Mariachiara at Monterosso. |
Monterosso houses. |
Me and Marta and a bit of Monterosso tower. |
Francesco under the shade on the walkway at Monterosso. |
Monterosso watch-tower. |
Poisonous flower and Monterosso beach. |
Apparently this walkway is famous as one of Italy's most famous modern poets used to come here (Montale). |
Marta. |
The statue is called "The Giant". Apparently it used to be a dancefloor (the topo portion of course!!). |
The bridge at Khazad-Dum!!! (Tolkien will forgive me). |
Walking towards Vernazza, you can see the old tower rather well. |
Vernazza from the above. Marvellous! |
Corniglia by night. |
Corniglia the last day. |
Francesco looking dead tired. |
More sadness as the last breakfast together is about to happen. |
Tragedy strikes as we all know we are about to leave! |
Though we were not happy about leaving the appetite was QUITE good nonetheless! |
