"Rick Steve's Central" Vernazza by jenn_d

Vernazza Travel Guide: 246 reviews and 809 photos

I find it rather amusing that Rick Steves recommends this town as the best that CInque Terre has too offer while at the same time complaining that too many Americans visit Vernazza. Just who does he think is buying his useless guidebook?

Catch of the Day

The marina was filled with brightly colored fishing boats like this one. After 2 days of April showers this kitty was relieved to finally see the sun

A treat worth the trek

Indeed, Jenn. A chilled cannoli with rich ricotta filling topped with powdered sugar sounds perfect right now! I'm not in Italy, I'm just here on Terra Firma, in China to be precise. Got a pretty wide array of exotic morsels to choose from here though..

Another delightfully fun page..Cinque Terre is a beautiful place and the walks are great but I understand about being glad you got to the next town! Clever and creative.
