We arrived in levanto late in the afternoon after driving from Pisa. In the camp we met an Aussie couple from margret river. The cinque terre is 5 towns with very little access. There is a train that stops at each one and that is the only transport that can get to all towns. This is the attraction to come here, no big resorts. There is a path(goat track) from one end to the other that takes 5 hours to walk/hike. The next day we caught the train to the first of ...

Stopped into Pisa on our way from Florence to the coast. It is unbelievable how much the tower leans. Something you have to see for your self

We arrived in Rome late in the day after exploring Pompeii earlier that day, it was so hot even had a water fight in the van on the way.

After the amalfi coast we arrived in Pompeii. Such a long hot drive no air con and about 40 degrees. Arrived to a hot dusty camp site but it was right opposite the ruins so was a good location.

We spent about 3 hours exploring the 40 hectare site in about 40 degree heat before heading off to Rome.
