Next up was Cornigilia, the only one of the Five that has no port/harbor/marina. It's way up the hill, 377 steps. But there's a shuttle bus (of course) for those who are in a hurry or who don't mind paying 2 euros. Cornigilia, it is written, is the only one of the Five from which you can see all four others. Why would you want to, I ask? Anyhow, it is worth noting that, this being Monday, the hordes and phalanxes of US college students were gone, replaced now by bus loads of American older tourists. The museums in Florence and other nearby places are closed on Mondays, so the tours shift into day-excursion mode. Saint Jimmy-Johnny, Sink Terror, stuff like that.

Looking back into the interior...we think we drove through/by
this town on our approach to La Spezia |

| It's truly a Rickie Stevie wonderland |
