The past few days have seen nasty weather. In a country that supposedly has the best weather in Europe, gloomy skies and rainy days isn’t quite the norm. But that is exactly how it has been these few days. It rained the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday.

After our hearty lunch in Vernazza, we continued our trek to village #3, Corniglia. It started to drizzle a little, but it wasn’t too bad. This time around, the trail was relatively easier.

So I am chugging along with my Italian lessons. There are some words that just make me CRINGE although the meaning really is quite innocent. It’s so bad I can’t even bring myself to say it. Here are some examples.
