La Spezia and Cinque Terre

We crawled into the commercial port at La Spezia at about 6:00am and awoke to see rows of containers instead of pretty villages. We get off quite early today and may take the train to the Cinque Terre villages although we have been before in the van.

We shared a taxi to the station and caught the train for 15min journey to Venazza with thousands of others, took the photos, had a nice fishy lunch and came back to the Edge at 4:40. It's been warm, not too hot for our first day ashore. We walked back from the station just stopping by the Garibaldi  monument (nothing to do with biscuits) for a Cappuccino on the way.
