CHINQUE TERRA

2/8/08 -5/8/08
ITALY
For the next 3 nights we stayed in a busy campground in beautiful Levanto which was our base for exploring the little villages of Chinque Terra.
There are 5 small towns which make up Chinque Terra: Monterrosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, all of which are accessible to tourists via a regular train service.
