Our Hard Hitting Reporter (HHR) is here to moderate the Ferry discussion and update us on Larry’s day in Levanto.
HHR: Larry, is it true that you did not go on the Ferry extravaganza because Debbie was going and you were tired of telling her to get out of the sun.
Larry: Well, no that is not exactly correct. My foot was still bothering me and I decided not to go. You do know that I live with Debbie and have to go home to her?
HHR: Jerry who went on the ferry trip?
Jerry: Joyce, Debbie and I went on a ferry ride. We visited the villages in Cinque Terre
Joyce: Cinque Terre translates into five lands which is five traffic free villages on the Italian Riveria. The cities are on the coast and come down to the bay. The five cities are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare.
HHR: I heard that you got a ticket in Levanto?
Joyce: Yes, we bought a day ticket and a 3 island tour.
HHR: Is it true that Debbie had to sit alone?
Debbie: Hey, I am right here. I did sit alone but because of the sun. Plus I sat next to the lifeboat. Also people kept getting in my safe zone trying to take pictures. When I was on the Island tour, I sat downstairs with the cool teenagers and could go sit on the very front of the boat.
Joyce: Wait what? You got to sit in the front of the boat outside? I didn’t know this.
Debbie: Yes and it was in the shade
HHR: Should Debbie not have been outside? Should the captain have kicked her off the boat?
Jerry: Let’s talk about lunch: We ate in Portovenere past the last city. We watched employees eat a full Italian lunch with starters, first meal, second meal and dessert. We aren’t sure if they could stay awake that afternoon.
Joyce: Next we rode the boat to Riomaggiore and walked into town.
HHR: Did you see the cliff jumpers?
Debbie: I wish that you could have been there for a jump into the sea?
Joyce: Next we went to Manarola and had gelato. We also watched the cliff jumpers. Debbie especially liked the gelato.
HHR: Larry how was your day?
Larry: Well, I took some good pictures but I had an incident. I was walking around and a piece of stray concrete jumped out at me and took me down.
HHR: What does this mean?
Larry: It means that I tripped on it, fell down and skinned my knee.
HHR: Oh, Larry, I am so sorry no one was with you. It’s too bad that it didn’t happen to someone more deserving like Debbie.
These are a hoot, I am enjoying all of them.
I’m glad that you like them. It is a different view..
