Pretty vs pretty sums it up nicely! It's a tough decision. Luckily we have time to think it over.
I did see the Taste of Ligurian Riviera excursion and its castle. In fact, that was the first excursion I poured over for our first day in Italy. The castle drew my eye! Isn't it funny that something that small was used as a defense against the Saracens?
In spite of the need to walk 2 hours, the Cinque Terre excursion would take to us to see so much of the park and the area. Rio Maggiore, Vernazza, Manarola. The walking probably wouldn't be too bad - it sounds like the 2 hours would be spread out over the day in places like the "Street of Love" along the sea and in the villages. It's such a unique region. I wonder what led Medieval Italians to settle in these coves.
Do you ever watch Rick Steve's travel show? I love him. His special about the Cinque Terre region airs on PBS Sept. 25th. Maybe that will give us some insight!
