We leave our lovely campsite and drive to the other side of the Portofino peninsula. The roads seem even narrower and busier today. We pass a bus and he takes out his side mirror. The traffic queues behind him as he picks up the pieces and you can picture the scene as vespa riders lean out from behind the bus and gesticulate wildly about the delay.
You can see the benefits of a vespa over a camper van on days like this, but we are soon on the motorway again and buzzing our way toward Levanto where we park the van for the day €12 then catch the train into Cinque Terre. We have a magic day in the hot sun as we walk fom Vernazza to Corniglia. Millie walks the whole distance on her own steam which is pretty good going in hot sun with a million and one steps. The cold drink tastes extra good after the walk and we enjoy a splash in the sea off the crazy rocks in the town.
We train back to Monterosso al mare where we grab pizza and sneak a quick swim after the sun had lost its heat. The beach here is much better for the girls. We train back to Levanto for the evening in our van.
