Arrivederci Amazing Cinque Terre.

TripAdvisor rated Ristorante Portovine the number one place to eat in Portovenere, and we had been saving our Euros for such a night as this... we've walked and talked ourselves a long way!
The only reservation available was 2:30pm yesterday...
so we breakfasted early and light,
got the ferry and hiked a good 5 miles around Palmaria Island,
dressed up fancy-ish..
and headed off for what turned out to be a truly amazing meal.
I wish we'd taken a photo of the menu...
suffice to say it included farinata (a pizza base made of chickpea flour, the yummy pesto this region is renowned for, grilled squid, gnocchi with mussels, tuna sashimi with pears and strawberries, incredibly simply delicious dessert and a shared glass of warmed rum!
Oh!
...and a bottle of Cinque Terre Vino Rosso and unlimited fresh crusty bread too!
More than we had hoped for...
More than we could eat!
Amazing experience ...
thought so much of you Laurie and Gary:
"AMAZING is the only word sometimes!!
