Great night's rest last night! Got up around 9, showered and got the most delicious pastry. It was a croissant with apricot filling...Tomorrow we are planning on getting the same thing! The we all hiked from Vernazza to Corneglia which was brutal. So many stairs up and down and up and down again. Ate gelato when we got there, of course! Couldn't find Rick Steves recommended place so went somewhere else, still good though. Took the train to Monterosso, ate lunch. Randy and Victoria has lasagna pesto and I had lasagna bolognese. Monterosso is NOT a small costal city it's more of a beach resort spot so we didn't spend much time there.
Randy and I hiked back from Monterosso to Vernazza which some call "treacherous" per Rick but we didn't feel like it was at all! Some portions were narrower but not unsafe. I sweated so much that I still burnt my shoulders and neck a bit even though I wore sun screen. Some what pointless I guess.
Saw so many nasty old men in speedos! Tried to get Victoria to let us introduce her to them but she refused! I did read in Rick's book that some women fall in love with guys here and stay! :)
After we got back Randy decided to hike up a hill for sunset. Us girls opted out, too tired and sore. We stayed at the water front for a while people watching then on our way back to our room grabbed a couple pizzas. They were so good! Thin crust, cooked in a fire, fresh topping! Mmmm! Ate pizza, showered and now bed...
