Long day travelling

The whole tour was dragged out by complicated travelling and waiting time for the next travel step.

Cinque Terre long but fun day.

It is a long day but a great time to see beautiful small towns on the water. Steep climb much of the towns so be ready. My wife and I are in good shape so not a problem. Many were having a tough time. Our guides were nice and pleasant but average. Accent was tough on this tour too understand for some in our group. Loved to places we visited. They did leave one of that was on the itinerary. Big problem was we were all told don't be late we will leave you. But a couple missed the train and we waited 35 mins for them at the bus. No physical limits to the couple so just didn't pay attention. Then we had to have a bathroom stop off the toll road for someone. Early an extra hour. Just let us all know the schedule is a suggestion not something we must adhere to.
