Having heard so many great things about the Cinque Terre from Ron and Joan and Geoff and Dee we decided we had to go there, even though it meant driving in the wrong direction for what should now be our homeward bound leg.
So we headed towards Genova from Milan, visited the biggest Aquarium in Europe there, and then on down the coast to La Spezia. Found we could actually drive in with the campervan to the second of the 5 towns, so started our walk from there. A big day (nearly 12 km) of very pleasant, but often steep walking, with lovely views and great little towns to explore on the way. Gelati in Venazza was a welcome refreshment break and by the time we got to Montessoro, I was a bit too tired to do much exploring there, so back on the train to the camper for an early night! Next day a quick walk to the first town Rio Maggiore, and then a quick trip down to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Rob and the kids booked for the tower climb (having done it before I took the chance of a welcome break).
From Pisa back up to Verona, for a quick look at this classic "little Rome" and then another day at Gardaland Theme Park followed by New Years Eve on Lake Garda. A great trip.
