Constituting one of the most scenic areas in Italy, the five hillside towns on the Ligurian Sea known as
Cinque Terre definitely captured our hearts. After catching glimpses from the train enroute from Milan to La Spezia, we allowed ourselves a full day of hopping on and off trains at each delightful stop.

Beautiful shots from a wonderful place. Must have been a fabulous trip!
What a great way to see this beautiful scenery....I wish there were such trains available around here!
It is beautiful!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful shots, love the last one of the water.
That is definitely one place I'd like to visit again. We did it from the boat so next time I'd go by train. Great photos!
By the exquisite light seen in all these shots it appears you had perfect weather to photograph and enjoy the hillside towns. I think there is a castle (or church?) high up the rocky cliff … what a view it must be from there as well as from the train windows. Nice to know you can both still hop, by the way … not so sure about me. :)
Sounds magical, traveling by train and hopping off at each stop. This part of Italy looks like a perfect place for such fun!
Cinque Terre is where my sister most wants to go. Planning to in a couple of years.
Wonderful place. Great looking statues.
I love the iea of getting off at each stop to wander around. It sounds and looks like a terrific trip.
How very gorgeous.
The last picture looks like the Garda Lake Mr. G's home region.
What a fun trip!! Great pics!
Some people should not have beards. Even in statues! It doesn't suit!
Love the pictures Kay ~ I hope you had a good time ~
Thanks for the memories, Kay.
That pink building behind the statue looks liked it could be the hotel we stayed at in Levanto.

Beautiful photos, Kay! Who does the statue represent? It is intriguing, because it's such a great sculpture.
Thanks for your comment. I wish you too a very great week.
Wil, ABCW Team.
Breathtaking photos. Thanks for sharing them. Lovely post.
Terrific images. And hopping on and off trains in a scenic area seems a fantastic way to spend a day. BTW, don't anybody try that in the UK: You would get stuck in a siding somewhere, waiting for hours to trundle on to the next station. :-(
lovely ...
I loved seeing all your travel photos, Kay. I haven't been able to visit much lately because I OVERborrowed Kindle books from the library. I had them on hold and they're showing up at the same time. Yikes!!! I can't keep up.
