Cinque Terre (Manarola), Cinque Terre, Italy
Our day started off with breakfast in the community room at our Hotel La Spiaggia in Monterosso. Hearty and filling, just what we needed before a full day of hiking.
Our original plan was to start our day by taking the聽boat聽from Monterosso to Riomaggiore, thus having the opportunity to see all five villages of Cinque Terre from the water. Unfortunately, the sea conditions were too rough and the ferry was suspended for the entire three days we were in Cinque Terre.
So instead we took the train from Monterosso to Manarola, the smallest of the five villages that make up Cinque Terre and explore that town.
Trains between the five villages run every 30 minutes or so in both directions for聽鈧�4. Tickets can be purchased at the time of the ride but with the additional step of having to validate these single ride tickets we opted to buy ahead of time.

This gave us unlimited train rides, and was also our required pass to聽hike from village to village. An added bonus, this pass could also be used as a free toilet pass. Flash this ticket at most public toilets in Cinque Terre and you get behind the turnstile for free. That is a saving of聽鈧�1 per pee!
