Just like us Asians, they all look the same
... crazy enough to attempt it in this heat. Monterosso - best of the 5 towns; biggest beach but also the most crowded. Overall the Cinque Terre is over-rated, over-crowded, and over-hyped. The new version of U2´s "One" by Bono and Mary J. Blige ...

Cinque Terra, by Boat and Plane
