Porto Venere
At the end of our tour of the Cinque Terre the boat took us to the town of Porto Venere. This is a lovely little town close to Cinque Terre.
Old Church
We had some time to take a look around here and I enjoyed walking in this cosy town. We did not have the time to go up to the old church that is at the top of a hill, but must say the people living in towns like these must get really fit, because they mostly consists of hills.
Happy touist
After we had a little look around we went to a little restaurant and had a wine tasting. The wines we tasted was white wines from the area and from Cinque Terre. The one from Cinque Terre you could taste a little salt, coming from growing the grapes in the steep hills so close to the sea. We were also served the local olives, and Farinata a savoury pancake made with chickpea flour

You had a heavenly boat trip, it seems. Your photos are beautiful as always. 🙂
Thank you very much, I really did have a great boat trip and there was so many lovely things to see!
Chic pea flour sounds interesting as well as wine with a hint of salt. Can you imagine building that church on that rock?? 🙂 Very interesting.
It was quite tasty! I’m very glad i was not the one who had to build the church
Charming & interesting. I want to try the chickpea flour.
The Farinata was very tasty.

What a marvelous boat ride! With the salty flavor did the wine taste good? I always enjoy your photos.
Thank you! The wine was quite nice, it was only a little hint of salt. Perfect for drinking in the heat.
