Now Reading: Pompeii by Robert Harris (brings the ruins even more to life, should have read it first)
After a long train ride north, I arrived in Vernazza - the most talked-about of the Cinque Terre towns, and my home for the next couple of days. The train ride from La Spezia up the coast is such a tease... keeps flashing increasingly impressive sea views at you, then covering them with a tunnel. Thankfully, Vernazza has a pretty sweet sea view itself, and I imagine the hiking trails I wander along the coast tomorrow will be similar to or better than the train's vantage point.
Had a fantastic funghi pizza at the harbor, staring out at the water... then continued the staring sitting on some rocks just above the raging water. I went down onto the end of the harbor to take a few pics... it was wet, but I figured "what the heck". You know what happened next... a giant wave struck and soaked the bottom of my jeans and shoes, much to the amusement of those sitting nearby. All in a day's work... I got some great shots, so I'll live with wet feet.
