Had a real good lie in! Left the hotel about 12 30 after getting up slowly. Still not feeling great so planned to take it slow. Actually disappointed I couldn't do the hike, meant to be stunning. Headed to Vernazza, the 4th village, much smaller but very nice too. Think I've heard too much hype tho so not in awe of the area. Preferred the Amalfi Coast to here. Felt really faint so decided to go back to the hotel, shame to miss out on the other villages but don't ...

Bus at 8. Confusion when leaving as three buses going at the same time. Got on the right one tho and settled for the journey. Not long and arrived about 12 to Cinque Terre. Bumped into Phil when off the bus but soon lost him in the confusion. stayed in La Spezia, not the villages but was a good town. Hotel looked pretty grand from the outside but basic inside. Had my own room with en suite tho so didn't mind. Met with Laura and headed to the 5th village, Monteros...

Disturbed sleep again. room mate came in at 3am drunk and made quite a lot of noise. Also decided that it was better to make her bed then instead of when she had arrived at 8pm.

Managed to get the direct one to Florence so was pleased. Stopped off on the way to Orvieto. A small town with a massive church, simila...

My legs were no better this morning and still swollen so got up and went to reception to find a doctor. She suggested the hospital just up the road so I headed towards there armed with all sorts of documents. Confused myself finding the right place to go but found accident and emergency and spoke to the receptionist. Only had about a 30 min wait before I was seen. A very friendly doctor saw me and prescribed some cream. Had a bit of a language barrier tho so she ...

Blummin early wake up, bus at 7. Driver running late tho so had a little delay in getting going. Headed along the Amalfi coast. Yet another UNESCO site, they love them! Could see why tho. stunning scenery all along and again some really windy roads. Had an excellent driver who just ploughed through and made all the cars reverse for us. Stopped in Amalfi and had a while to look around, not a very big town but good to see. Explored up the main street and had a litt...
