Today was a travel day. We missed our Lucca to Pisa connection (slept in) and as a result spent most of the day in and out of train stations on our way to the Cinque Terra.
We have met plenty of other vacationers headed the same direction though. The train connection was tough here, but so far the smaller Cinque Terra train system has made the most sense to us.
Funny story... many of us travelers were excited to find others who were also headed to town #4 Vernazza. We quickly bonded with two cute older couples as we waited for what we were certain was our train. Just as the train arrives, one woman had not returned from a restroom trip. The two couples chose to separate and her husband would stay behind and wait for her. (There is always a certain type of panic that crosses ones mind when you miss a train, and havent figured out how to catch the next one.) Just as the train doors lock behind us she arrives with ice cream for everyone. She had picked some up on her way back from the restroom to cheer everyone up after a hard day of travel. All of us couldnt help but laugh. We have since bumped into them many times during our stay in the Cinque Terra, and we always have a good laugh.
