We could not tear ourselves away from Cinque Terre so have stayed another day, and are happy we did. On a whim we decided to check out Monterosso which is only a 15 minute trin ride from our camp. It turned out to be the most delightful of the 5 Terre! Small, winding, pedestrian only, streets with buildings piled on top of each other in wonderful pastel colors with laundry hanging everywhere, and our noses, led us to Trattoria Oscar where we saw local diners having some wonderful looking seafood dish with risotto served in the cooking pan. We ordered the same and had a wonderful long Italian style lunch before heading back to the beach where we had rented beach chairs and an umbrella. The water is warm (80+?) and swimming is easy. We hate to leave this idyllic spot on the Italian Coast but tomorrow morning we will break camp for some fun in the French Alps.
