It was a bright but blowy morning here in Lerici and we set off along the coastal promenade which runs all the way to San Terenzo.
The lidos were getting ready for their summer visitors – a snip at €36/day for 2 people with sun beds and an umbrella – but this does include the convenience of changing rooms, toilets and showers, and perfectly clean and raked sand!
One of the beaches was hosting an event on the International Beach Tennis circuit …
… and while it was too chilly for most to paddle, there were a couple of brave souls!
San Terenzo was bustling on a Sunday morning and we passed Casa Magni- the house Shelley lived in with his wife, the local church and the castle.
We took a footpath up through the back of the village … and you can guess, a mixture of mule track, earthen track and paved path and more ups and downs than we were expecting! It was all worthwhile for the views – leftwards to Lerici …
… and rightwards to San Terenzo, with Portovenere and the islands of Palmaria and Tino in the distance.
Back in Lerici, then sun had gone in and the wind had got up so we just chilled for the rest of the afternoon, then went for pizza later.
