Left Nice for a few days and travelled into Italy and staying in Rapallo which is a little east of Genoa.
Took the train this morning to Riomaggiore which is at the far end of the Cinque Terre National Park with the intention of walking to Monterosso al Mare, about a 5 hour walk and visiting all 5 villages along the coastal path.
Arrived only to be told that the coastal path was closed the whole way. ugh!!
Thought we may do a circular walk from Riomaggiore but then found out that the was the likelihood of a train strike after 2 pm. We couldn’t take the chance at not being able to get a train back to Rapallo so had a wander around the village and then came back.

The coast that we would have walked along
Back in Rapallo after an uneventful day although we at least got a feel of the Cinque Terre so will go back sometime, maybe before we leave this time and do a circular walk from one of the other villages we did not get to.
