Our backpacking trip: Dia 108 / Day 108

Finalmente cogimos el ferry para recorrer Cinque Terre despues de tratar por 4 dias.

Fuimos en tren a Manarola y pasamos unas horas caminando y conociendo el pueblo. Subimos a la cima de una montaña de donde teniamos una muy buena vista del pueblo. Despues fuimos en el tren a Riomaggiore donde caminamos y conocimos el pueblo. Por la tarde fuimos en el ferry desde Riomaggiore a Porto Venere. Solo estuvimos una hora en Porto Venere y nos hubiera gustado haber estado mas tiempo pero no hubieramos podido coger el ultimo ferry de regreso. Visitamos el Castillo Doria, un castillo medieval muy bonito localizado en la cima de una montaña.

Nos devolvimos en el ferry que paro en Riomaggiore, Vernazza y Monterosso al Mare. Los pueblos se ven muy bonitos desde el mar, fue un paseo delicioso.

En la estacion del tren conocimos a Beatriz y Bertrand y su bebe de 3 meses Hugo, una pareja que esta en el mismo camping que nosotros y nos invitaron a comer en la cabaña donde se estan quedando. Fuimos como a las 9:20pm y nos quedamos conversando, comiendo, tomando vino y cerveza hasta media noche.

We took the boat around the Cinque Terre after 4 days of trying.

We went by train to Manarola where we spent a couple of hours seeing the town and walking around. We hiked up hill and had a great view of town. We then took the train to Riomaggiore where we spent time walking and seeing the town. In the afternoon we took the boat from Riomaggiore to Porto Venere. We stayed for over an hour in Porto Venere but we wish we had spent more time, but we would have missed the last boat back. There is Castle Doria, a big castle on top of a mountain, very nice.

We took the boat back to Monterosso al Mare, the boat stopped in Riomaggiore, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare. We had a very nice view of all 5 towns from the ocean; it was a great trip.

At the train station we met Beatriz and Bertrand and their son Hugo, a couple staying the same camping and they asked us to go for dinner to their bungalow. We went around 9:20pm and left after midnight. We had some beers and wine and nice dinner.
