Your Virtual Italy Vacation continues as Thor and I take a last ramble around the cliff-hugging villages and rugged coastline of Cinque Terre.
NOTE: Since European travel is still a no-go with the pandemic continuing, I’m continuing my blog series offering a virtual vacation and time-travel to my first big trip with Thor in 2008. Italy! After starting with highlight photos posted here on Saturday, Jan. 30, I’ll now resume every week (after the blogging detour in real time to Hawaii). Join us in Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, Venice, and Milan. Buon viaggio!
Since I’m off on another quick ramble, I’ll mostly let these last glimpses of Cinque Terre villages speak for themselves.
These locks on the railing reminded me of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, where lovers leave a lock to symbolize their love.
This tower is part of a Medieval fortress.

And a modern tower:
Next week: Venice!
