19, September
By accident, Sheila and Pam have discovered Il Pirata delle Cinque Terre - OK, we just call it The Pirates. It’s run by twins, known as the Canoli Brothers. Having breakfast with the Pirates is watching mass chaos in progress, but they serve the best home-made pastries and hot chocolate that is best described as drinking still-warm chocolate pudding. After fortifying ourselves, we catch the train to Riomaggiore. We shop and enjoy the cute little town before walking the Via dell’Amore.
There are locks along the trail as the custom is for couples to secure their lock along the railing of the trail and then toss the key into the ocean. It’s a picturesque trail that leads us to Manarola where we find some lunch, enjoy watching the kids jump off the rocks into the sea, and of course, find some gelato before catching the train back to Vernazza.
