La Spezia-Heading off to the Cinque Terre

La Spezia is where you buy your Cinque Terre card. The card entitles you access to the Cinque Terre trail, and to ride any of the trains between the towns. The card was introduced as a way to maintain and upkeep the trail.

We had a little excitement when I realised I couldn't find my card. The train was due to leave shortly. I had an idea of where I could have left them, so I raced back and sure enough there was my card lying on the bench besides the postcards.

Needless to say Greg was not impressed.
