Being an early riser I couldn't resist heading off on a walk with camera in hand ...
The steep terraced gardens above the town.

Panorama of the town..

Our apartments. The yellow building was where Laureen, Michelle & Steve stayed. Mark and I were in the pink building to the right with the white window and our washing out.

Manarola from the cemetry.

The cemetry was perched high on the opposing hill. Due to a lack of space they stack the coffins 4 high. It was very interesting to stroll through. 95% of the graves have photos of the deceased on the front. Many repeated surnames, clearly local families for generations.

Our room.... and views from the bed.

What fun finding your cafe & sharing it with Mark...makes you feel almost like a local. Your desert trip sounded lovely, & we can verify that the other trip is definitely a tourist rip off...as you say, hundreds of tourists in one place...maybe we'll try your trip next time. Sounds like everything is living up to your dreams so far...Mark, have a great birthday & enjoy your cigar...We wish we were there with you for the occasion!! Love to both
How spectacular! Love the photos and comments. You look like everything is going superbly well....best wishes. Love jacki
How gorgeous is that place...views from the bed are amazing.
