Walk around Cinque Terre day. Took the train into the furthes town and did the main thing to do in Cinque Terre (a world heritage site, which consists of 5 seaside farming villages on a very rocky coast) and that's walk from village to village.

Walking from village 1 to villlage 2 was the girly bit, then the walks got progressively harder. Beautiful sights, lots of elderly people kitted out in full walking gear and girlfriend and I just looking like the clueless inexperienced walkers we are. Fortunately the "hard" paths turned out to be survivably hard.

After making it to village no. 4, I desperately wanted to walk on to no. 5 (not much point in seeing only quatre Terre, is there? But decided against this when girlfriend pointed at the clouds coming in from the see. Managed to get to the train-station before it started pouring down and got soaked on the way from the train-station on the other side of the mountain to our campsite.

Found out that Bart's tent is more than water-proof, tried making a salad in the tent (after doing some shopping) and spent the night drinking wine and looking at rain.
