Day 10 - We Move Westward

From Venezia to Monarola, the first step is to pay 7,50 Euro to ride the water bus along the Grand Canal. It's a much better experience, physically and mentally, then dragging luggage over like a hundred of Venice's 400-odd bridges.

Then we got some more gelato (best flavor was Creamy Venetian, which was candied orange with fudgy chunks) before departing via train towards the Cinque Terre.

As a side note, Mia curses the Blogger site and hopes her readers appreciate the suffering she endures in order to post these things.

When we reached Monarola, we had to accept that the weather had followed us there, and it was time to pull out umbrellas. After checking in to our cute apartment up 5 flights of stairs, we went out to buy groceries and dinner, went in to eat said dinner ('take-away pizza'), then went out again to explore the village.

The rain lends its own beauty to the landscape. We got great pictures wandering around by the shore. Then, drenched and tired, at last we retired to our rooms.
