Cinque Terre is five villages which are relatively inaccessible by car. They’re connected by a hiking trail and a train. We walked from our village, Vernazza, (second from the north) to the next village to the south, Corniglio. The trail is rough and steep, often paved with uneven flat stones, and although there can be very long drops to the sea, there is almost never a guard rail. Despite this, Ria was such a good walker that we never felt that she was in danger. She walked carefully, paying attention and choosing her steps well.
The walk took us almost two hours, and Ria was strong and energetic until the end. We’ve had beautiful weather, sunny and warm but not hot, and cool in the shade and in the evening.
In Corniglio, we had a delicious lunch, wandered around, and took the six-minute train back to Vernazza.
