Well we made it to the town of Vernazza and have checked into our hotel. They were not kidding when the add said we would have to climb 100 steps. I am quite sure my calves will protest by tomorrow. Syl and Chris intend to hike between the towns but I thihk I will just stay here and sketch tomorrow, afterall I will be coming back here in October. Hopefuly it wil be cooler by then and I will have a hotel room on flat ground without having to have a heart attach to get to it!
We left by 10 AM and arrived in La Spezia at around 3PM. Then we boarded a train for Vernazza which takes about half an hour. We got here at 4:30 pm. The scenery is very pretty although the town sure could use a coat of fresh paint. not much to see or do other than eat and shop. I may take a water taxit to visit some of the other towns tomorrow, we will see how I feel. We got lost twice, once when we got of the autostad an exit too early and the second looking for parking in La Spezia. Surprizingly Italian roads are in great shape and sinage is very good but that doesnt make up for a tempermental GPS named Pippa!!!
Ciao for now

Castelmuzio
Castelmuzio is the town I will call home for 3 months. Only 240 residents that dont speak much English..it will be like playing sherades!
About Me
- Diane
- Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
- I am a retired Canadian woman who enjoys travel, art, music, family and retired life. I have so many things I want to do and experience now that I have the freedom to do so. In July 2010 I retired after 30 years of public service. I moved away from the city and settled in beautiful Prince Edward County on Lake Ontario. In August 2011 I met the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and we have been inseparable ever since. I am living the life I have always dreamed of and I am so grateful for all the blessings in my life.
