| The best way to get around the Cinque Terre is via water taxi. This one is in the Vernazza harbor. |

| "Departures for the Cinque Terre" There's train service between the five towns, but figuring out the schedule was a challenge for us! |

Great pictures! I love lemoncello!! :)
ReplyDeleteoops! Limoncello!
DeleteMe too! I'd never tried it before we went to the Cinque Terre. Discovering local cuisine is part of the fun of traveling for me.
DeleteLove the lemon shot. It's always nice to see photos shot with film, I think it made us take better shots,
ReplyDeleteYou're right. We definitely stopped and planned before taking film photos. But I'll admit I like being able to take ten shots of the same subject without considering the cost of developing them.
DeleteThey are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh, I want to go there! I especially love the colors in the display (second photo); those lemons are truly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
It's a lovely place. I hope you're able to visit someday.
DeleteSigh ... just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteCinque Terre is most definitely on my bucket list :) Thanks for the pics. Have you read the short story "Vampires in the Lemon Grove" by Karen Russell? Your mention of lemons in this post brought that story to mind because the vampires suck lemons instead of blood and it's set in Sorrento.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my photos. No, I haven't read that book but I'll look for it. It sounds like a clever twist on the vampire legends.
DeleteSimply gorgeous! I love limoncell!!
ReplyDeleteYum. Me too!
DeleteLove the pics - the lemon one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful display definitely capture my attention, which is why I took the photo! So much beauty everywhere in this part of the world.
DeleteIt does look beautiful, and I like the photo of the lemon stall too.

ReplyDeleteSeems like almost everyone is a fan of lemons! So am I.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteThose were the days when we used film in our camera. I esp. like the second one here. Yes, all the lemons, since yellow is my fave colour. ;)
ReplyDeleteYellow is such an optimistic color. No wonder we all like it.
DeleteBeautiful photos as per usual Sandra!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAs always you give us pictures that take us viewers there while remaining home.
ReplyDeleteThe lemon shot is my very favorite... wonderful stuff Sandy. Feels almost as good as being there:)
ReplyDeleteCinque Terre always looks so beautiful- almost enough to tempt me to forgo going to Paris to go to Italy. Thanks for scanning these to share with us.
