Today was a slower day, no riding, slept in a bit. After breakfast we took a ferry ride across the golf to Porto Venere. This is a beautiful little port with tall colorful houses facing the water. These houses were actually part of the defensive wall at one point in history. There’s also a castle and a couple of churches to see. One of these churches dates from the 1300’s and is situated right out on the point.
We tried to do a short hike above the town but only went about 45 minutes before it started to pour. We found a small forest refuge/restaurant (of course) luckily so we didn’t get soaked. It stopped raining fairly soon so made our way back to town and went for a walk along the waterfront before heading back to Lerici on the ferry.
Leaving Lerici behind on the quick trip to Porto Venere.
An inspirational spot for Lord Byron apparently but could be for anyone.
