October 13 Ladispoli to the Cinque Terre

Today was another long day on the road. However, it was uneventful and the roads were not clogged with truck and there were only a few Sicilian like drivers on the autostrada.

After about five hours we reached the Cinque Terre and headed for a spot outsite the first village, Riomaggiore, to pick up some informatin en route to our campsite. Driving the Cinque Terre is, to say the least, both scary and picturesque. Unfortunately, the road we needed to take to get to our campsite was blocked, which meant turning around, driving the twisty rods again for about 15 km and then another 60 km on the autostrada to get to our site.

From the campsite, there is a free shuttle service to the train station tht will get us to any of the five villages that make up the Cinque Terre. The site also has a computer and so I will update my blog...unfortunately I cannot upload picures here...later for pictures.

Tonight will be laundry and shower night. Tomorrow we hike the Cinque Terre.
