A classical saying is that all roads lead to Rome… and here we are! Suz has been to Rome before, but that was a good 8 years ago so she was looking forward to revisiting sites, and seeing new ones… I’ve never been here, so it was all definately new …
We left Florence and caught a train that took us to La Spezia, here we changed to a local train and 8 min later the train arrived at our destination, Riomaggiore. Riomaggiore is the first of five villages that make up the Cinque Terre, a Unesco World Heritage site, national …
