Cinque Terre (Day 2)

We woke up early cuz we knew today was going to be a long one. We were
going to tackle all of the Cinque Terre in one day.

Now what many people do is start from the south and hike the trail all
the way to the north. You would need 5 hours to do the whole path and
that is not counting stopping in each of the cities. But this is what
it is all about, catching the views of the seascape as you turn
corners and stop at the vistas to take it all in.

We didn't have that much time nor did we have the energy so we decided
to rail mostly everything and just hike the shortest path which was
20minutes going from Manarola to Riomaggiore.(note: we are North going
South)

You have to see some of these Die-hards though. They've got all the
gear, they've got the hiking boots, the pulled down wool socks , the
hiking sticks, yeah you read that right, hiking sticks. Ya easy there
Hans .... this isn't Everest.
You know that yodeling hiking guy from the Price is Right ? I had that
friggen song in my head the whole day.
