Levanto is a mirror of the last town, Moneglia, except in a larger scale and
more expensive. This town is a popular point for hikers as a base for trips to
Cinque Terre. When we arrived by train we were met with a mob of day-trippers
were getting on the train. Regardless of the numerous announcements by train
officials to let people off the train before boarding, either people don’t
listen; they don’t understand Italian or they don’t care. It was a bit of a
battle to get off the train. Once we found our hotel, we ventured to Bonassola
a few kilometers away and accessible by an old rail line converted to a
pedestrian and bicycle path. The coastline here is rugged and so beautiful. The
surf is high and therefore there were many surfers enjoying the waves. On our
way to Bonassola we met three of the friendliest cats, which was a highlight
for Julie. In the evening many people lined the beachfront to enjoy the
afternoon sun and watch the sun set. We met a couple from Germany who were
enjoying their last day in Italy with a special ice cream and a glass of champagne.
