The organization Fun In Florence arranges trips for students to experience the region as well as Florence. This is the same org. that arranged the cooking class. We met at 7:15 am and took the train to Cinque Terra National Park along the western coast. Our guide, Remigio, led us from Riomaggiore to Manarola to Comiglia and then stopped for a quick lunch. Remigio hustled us off to Vernazza, which was a steep and difficult hour and a half climb. The descent down to Vernazza was difficult but we were rewarded with a swim in the cool Mediterranean Sea, refreshing. The water was spectacularly clear. We then boarded a ferry to Monterosso where we caught the return train back to Florence. A tiring but good time was had by all.
