Italy Part 2: Vernazza

On Monday we hopped the train and went to Vernazza, the next town over. I think the train ride was all of 3 minutes. :)

Waiting for the train...




Vernazza town square, with my back to the sea


Another view of the town square, with the harbor (and Gus!) in the foreground


Enjoying the view


The waters were turbulent!


And this guy was kayaking!


We walked up the trail next to the town for this view.
See the castle at the top?


Vernazza's castle


Gus found a friend! I know it looks like he's pulling the castle cat's tail,
but he was just petting him and the cat decided to hop down!



The view of the square and harbor from the top of the castle


The view to the east


And to the west
(that's Monterosso in the middle of the picture)

Okay, I'm ready to go to Italy. I can hardly stand these amazing photos!! Sure wish our 'next town over' looked like either Vernazza OR Monterosso! Where'd you find that cute guy in the pictures?
