I followed on of these paths and reached another impressive building that had a brilliant view across the bay. It was here that I started to realize that all this might be private ground as in a garage in front of the main building a couple of surfboards were stacked.
I carefully walked to the terrace in front of the building, took a quick glimpse on the bay and went to leave. On the way back I met a woman and asked if this was private ground – she agreed – and apologized. Looks like rich people like Mediterranean waves too….
Down at the liquid playground a few people tried their luck with the chunky but unruly waves. Two longboarders managed to catch some solid rights that stayed open, a shortboarder won the lottery and scored a fast right that ran for more than 100 meters and one boogieboarder was out having – like so often – the most fun in the tricky conditions.
I decided to check some other places and took the narrow and winding road through the mountains to have a look at the Cinque Terre area. Many parts of the road had suffered from erosion which made them even narrower. But again, there was very little traffic and I reached the first of the five villages that form – together with the coast in between – the UNESCO World Heritage.
