Riomaggiore Marina

4 and 5 Nov 2013, Riomaggiore

We actually reach Riomaggiore on 4-Nov-2013, and it was a rainy day. We were early and couldn't check in. So we had lunch before calling the hostel to let us in. The whole town again, has only one main road and leads to the sea. It was a miserable day as the rain just won't stop. Even when we took the train to visit Manarola, it was pouring. We had our dinner there and head back to our dwelling place. But luckily the next morning, the weather cleared, and we had one full morning to explore Riomaggiore. Of course when I say morning, I meant we woke at 5am and went walking around town :)

 

It was still dark when we headed to the marina. The street lights were still on, and there were hardly anyone in sight. We met a road cleaner who admired the wave with us and shared a good morning, but that was it. It was peaceful and quiet all over except for the sound of the waves.

 

Soon the day begins to break, and a dim ray of sunlight starts to bring some colour to the town of  Riomaggiore.

Here are some of the unique sights of the town that is still deep in slumber as we softly explore it at our own leisure.
