Tuesday turned out to be a long day with a 9 a.m. train to Cinque Terra and a return to La Contessina at midnight. We changed trains in Pisa, then after what seemed a long morning, we arrived at the first of the five beautiful hillside villages. The walk along the coastline between Riomaggoire and Manarola was great and the weather was perfect. We explored the villages and had a delicious dinner in Monterossa. It was a pleasure to show the Bishops and Shapiros this enchanting part of Italy. After barely catching the last trains back to Florence, we were happy to fall into our beds! More later!
