At last we are home and I can post some pictures from our trip to Italy. I’ll start with our time in the Cinque Terre region.
In Riomaggiore, it seemed that every time we moved around it
was a case of steps, steps, and more steps. The final flight of twelve that led
up to our second floor apartment was the steepest and most narrow of any we
encountered. It felt as if we were climbing the rungs of a ladder. The first
picture shows me at the bottom of the stairwell.

Lyle took the second picture from the window of our second
storey apartment. Two tall windows look out onto the little marina below. It is
very picturesque. I am quite sure that any furniture in the apartment must have
been hauled up through the windows from the path below. There is no way that it
could have been carried up the steep stairway and through the sharp angle of
the apartment door.

We took the third picture a short distance from where we
stayed. It shows a white ferry pulled into dock on a rock at the bottom of the
cliff face. This is the passenger ferry we took on our day trip to Monterossa.
You might be wondering how we reached the ferry at the base of the cliff - or
perhaps you have guessed. Yes, there was yet another flight of steps leading
from the path above to the boat and water below.
