Cinque Terre – Portovenere Fortress
These pictures show the view at the northern end of the town north up the coast toward the Cinque Terre. At the end of my rambles, I was sitting at the bottom of the very old stairs that skirted around the back of yet another old fortress (shown in the previous post) when a hardy group of German tourists clomped down the steep stairs with heavy hiking boots and two walking sticks that look like ski poles. Very weird looking. But, like the rest of us, all they were in search of was a nice gelato. There was a lovely WW1 memorial in the town square (where we gathered to eat our gelato) - - with a great art-deco woman carved in relief on marble. Very different than anything I'd seen so far.
