October 15 Day Two at Cinque Terre
Today's trip to Cinque Terre started with us missing the train by about 30 seconds....we were on time but the train was early, which is quite abnormal for Italian trains. We had to wait for about an hour for the next train and somehow managed to eat our fresh bread and cheese lunch long before noon!
We have been eating a lot of fresh bread and cheese in Italy. Many locations, this campsite included, take orders for fresh bread in the evening and then you merely go to the campsite market to pick it up in the morning. There are so many varieties of cheese to choose from that I will never be able to try all of them. I usually buy s
omething I have never heard of and so far I have not been disappointed.It was cool and cloudy today and so we did not venture to the beach. We did roam the streets, drank some cappicuccino, and visited a museum that detailed the history of Cinque Terre. We also met up with a couple of Austrailians and had a great chat with them about traveling in Italy. Needless to say, we agreed that a good sense of humour is required for traveling in this country. We shared a couple of stories and wished each other well before we went our separate ways.
The rest of the day was spent roaming around, taking in the sites and waiting for trains. And then we waited for trains.
We managed to find a grocery store when we got back to Deiva Marina (our campsite location) and stocked up in preparation for tomorrow's departure. We are heading north to Lake D' Orta.

just got caught up on all your adventures again, you sure have been busy, it's hard to believe reading the updates and looking at the pictures that we are worlds apart feels like i am right there with you. Take care and be careful. mom
Thank you for taking us with you on your trip. I have been very much enjoying it.
I am glad to know the drivers in Sicily have not changed. I never did figure out when to stop at a red light.
