    Im from Australia and we visited Cinque Terra in 2018.
    We stayed in a tiny village - La Spezia. Quick and easy train to Riomaggiore. Visiting Cinque terre had always been a dream of mine. so glad we went as its so beautiful. When we got off the train there, we met friends from our city back home, by accident!! That was a crazy day!
    I love watching you guys.
    Youre always making the best of every situation. Love that!

    You visited a very special place without knowing it. :) At 18:59, you can see the statue, Il Gigante de Monterosso. In 1981 the Italian version of Kit Williams's famous 'Masquerade' treasure hunt book was released and a prize was hidden at the statue's heel. Carla Vignola climbed up and found it in 1982. Fantastic that you visited that place. Thanks for bringing us on your adventures.

      @tomtaylor9280 Před 4 měsíci

      @@Roo-s_Life Yes, that's the one.
      There was controversy over the finder, Dugald Thompson aka Ken Thomas, who had a connection to Kit Williams's ex-girlfriend. If you search online you'll find lots about it and CZcams documentaries. Sadly, two Physics lecturers, Paul Rousseau and Mike Barker had worked out the puzzle properly and had dug in the same spot beforehand, apparently leaving the casket in the dug-over earth.
      The Italian publishers set a different puzzle and story, using Kit's original artwork.

    Those little villages are so picturesque! They look like pencil sketches come to life. Towards the end of the video when you're eating that pizza, I was so inspired I decided we're having pizza tonight too lol. The image at the end of Emily with her head on Benny's shoulder was so warm and lovely. You two are such a great couple. It was sad that you had to leave. It seems like you had hardly any time there at all, although I'm sure to you it's been a long and tiring journey. Nonetheless, it was worth going I think. Thank you for taking us with you!

    Loving your camper trip round Italy … the scenery and food are beautiful. Those 5 little villages certainly have that “West Country” vibe and like Benny, I thought the first one certainly did have similarities to Ilfracombe on the North Devon Coast. My only visit to Italy was on a coach tour way back in 1987… went down via Florence to Rome (where we saw Pope John Paul 2 doing his weekly service out in front of St Peter’s Cathedral) .. then back up to Venice via Assisi ..& stopped off in Lucerne on way back to UK… still one of my best trips abroad.

    It's a shame the Sun wasn't blazing. I did an excursion to Cinque Terre from Florence and it was scorching hot and Sunny. Really makes the colours of the towns pop. I also managed to get completely lost from my tour group alone lol. Full on panic but actually ended up great as I did the ferry journey alone from... I think it was Vernazza to Monterosso. That same platform by the cave you were both stood on. The tour guide said meet at a certain place after a break, I misheard and ended up realising they'd got the ferry ahead without me. Panic was not the word! LOL! All turned out well and even the tour guide asked if I purposely went off to enjoy things on my own haha. I actually didn't and was freaking out big time when I realised what had happened. One of those stories I occasionally tell 🤣 Beautiful stunning place and the vines on the cliffs are something else 😍

    You two are my favourite narrow boaters, this was fabulous, I’m absolutely loving your van traveling series. I loved your trip to Cinque Terre, I was hoping you would visit Portofino on your way back too. it’s beautiful there, in fact these little towns reminded me a bit of Portofino. There’s so many beautiful things to see in Italy it’s hard to know where to visit in one trip. I always find it really hard to eat healthily in Italy, being on a plant based diet, it’s either pasta or pizza. I can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you. Take care both of you. xxx
