A 3.5 hour drive from Lake Como through the mountains and down to the sea to Genoa, then on to Rapallo & Sestri Levante The last hour of the drive was rather stunning with sea and mountain vistas, and hairpin curves! As part of our āfree-wheelingā we decided last night to take a couple of days to visit Portofino and Cinque Terre and this spot is smack dab in the middle of it. The train goes from here through the National Park of Cinque Terre with stops in Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola & Riomaggiore (the 5 villages). You can hop on and off, hike part of it, or ride all the way. Tomorrow we visit Santa Margherita Ligure to catch a ferry to Portofino & San Fruttuoso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is beautiful country. Today we spent the afternoon on the beach at Riva Trigoso where weāve rented a 2-bedroom flat on AirBnB for the evening. Sestri Levante is a small town in Liguria about 56 kilometers south of Genoa. The once quiet fishing village is slowly turning into a tourist hot spot and is purportedly the home of focaccia bread which weāll try tonight with some fresh pesto! Yum.
