Ahh, the Cinque Terre - the five lands. My wife Shelly and I had planned to walk the trail between the five villages. But it rained all day so we took the train instead. It was still a great day. Each village has its own special character. Portovenere was probably our favourite, but that was probably because we had beautiful weather and we got to enjoy alot of alfresco dining (and drinking!).
