Travel notes September 9 and 10:
First time to Great Britain for Darren. Milan difficulty finding ticket for tram, roaming around station, printed off all train tickets, ate spaghetti prepared by teen boy on his last night before school at our friendly hosts' house.
Notes from September 11:
Woke up at 5AM, ate breakfast laid out for us, took train and poke with Americans on our way to Cinque Terre, saw bike race and couldn't cross street in Monterosso, ate foccacia, saw beach, steep hike out with lemons, vineyards, cactus, lemonade and limoncillo stand, farms, went swimming
Vernazza: pretty, ate pizza in back of restaurant, saw duomo, beach came, jumped off breakwater into sea
3rd town on a hill, ate homemade gelatto, saw vista at end, kids playing soccer (calcio) with nets so ball doesn't go in the sea, took switchbacks down to train station, attempted to walk to next town but were locked out with fence and I needed to use bathroom, took five minute very crowded train ride to 4th town
4th town, walked around through vineyards and saw duomo (per Rick Steves suggestion), swimming from crowded dock/bay area, lowered boats by pulley to water
5th town-walked on lock and love path to last town, went through tunnel, got lost through alleys by homes, saw duomo, ate yummy foccacia, took train to Pisa, picked up at NH hotel, taken to hostel
