I must confess I was not quite sure what to expect on a four day coach trip to Italy’s Cinque Terre region. With a day to get there and a day to return home, the trip would surely be quite stressful. But I needn’t have worried; the coach was very comfortable, the driver and travel guide were both competent and friendly, and we had ample time to explore the pretty towns and villages, both on our own and with the local guides who joined the coach for the duration of our stay.
Apart from being a very welcome break, the trip also gave me a good opportunity to try out the Pentax K-70 and 55-300mm lens. Obviously I couldn’t publish all 200 pictures here, but here is a selection of a few of my favourites.
Up in the hills above La Spezia afforded great views of the port. That big boat in the middle is “Harmony of the Seas” and at the time of writing she is the biggest passenger ship in the world……
….and she really is impressively big!
