This is how I get around the Cinque Terre

The trains here are terrific, they come a couple of times an hour each way, up and down the Italian Riviera. To go between the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre, you pay 1 euro 40 cents for a ticket that you validate and it is good for 6 hours, just hop and hop off. Of course it is wise to check the schedule to make sure you are on the right track, so far I have done fine with the trains after I got here. Of course my booboo on the way to Cinque Terre is another matter.
