Thursday, March 23, 2011 (Part 5)It took us about an hour and a half to complete the trail from Cornelia to Vernazza, and we were definitely ready for a break. Vernazza is one of the prettier of these five towns. Dad says he would stay in this town (of the five) if he were to visit again.
All of these towns, however, are very small. We walked the main street of Vernazza in about 5 minutes, and then we headed to the harbor area. There is an old fort perched atop the southern side of the harbor, and there is a breakwater area where pedestrians seemed to congregate for a break in the sun.
We decided a rest in the sun would be a nice idea, but it would be even nicer if we had a little gelato to enjoy while we were sunning ourselves. So we popped into the local gelato cafe (located conveniently in the harbor area) and bought gelato cones and water. With our bodies thus replenished, we were ready for the last leg of our hike -- the trail from Vernazza to Monterosso al Mare.
