21.5.2005 Day 7

Touristy day seeing Cinco Terra

We're all here, but not really awake

We took a 3.75 hour bus drive to get to Cinco Terra (the 5 terraced towns by the ocean). We had really pretty views along the way

Sheep herder

Orange, lemon trees, olive and wine orchards

We're here!

pretty blue water

We didn't spend too much time on the beach. Those crazy Europeans, always taking things off.

Tim, on the crag, deep in thought

pretty water

okay, now for the fun part - getting down!

We were feeling cheap so we hiked between the towns instead of taking the train like everyone else. Hence, we only saw 2 of the towns really. At the bottom of this picture is a cave that we climbed into later to get out of the sun and reflect on God's goodness.

WWII bunker?

Tim's sighted in

and so is Dyanne

This is St. Francis of Assisi!

These tourist boats would be crammed with people.

A church on the top of the highest hill around

The churches' wine source

Looks almost like a model huh?

Back inside the church

Father, ??????

This is the Ferrari Family tombsite

Lotsa lizards here

This is inside the cemetary

It's almost as if these things are to keep watch over the mountainside

Wow, pretty

Here's the cave

From the mouth

Tim and I tried to go in

It was a mess though b/c all the rock grips ran only one direction. Everything was dank, and if you fall you fall into the water.

I got in to the back, but had a tough time getting out b/c there were no grips the other direction! Tim had flip flops on so he stayed put.

In the second town there were two churches right next to one another. The first one was modern, even had all glass sliding doors at the entrance. The second was an eerie church that had symbols of death all inside it. Pirate church? Demonic? Not sure what this is about, but look at these pictures!
