A sunset, on our first day of hiking.

This is the first town, Monterosso. It has one main street with
shops that sell local specialties, including the wine of the region.

Fishing is one of the main industries that keeps these towns going,
along with tourism.

This is the bay, and the hills around Vernazza, the second town
in Cinque Terre. If you look closely you can see the vineyards.

|
The brightly coloured buildings around Vernazza's port.

Vernazza's church, with one of the most intricate manger scenes
anywhere.

Manarola -- the fourth town of the five.
|

The houses along the path seem like they are perched on the edge
of the mountain. Sometimes you wonder what holds them up there.
