Vernazza has been severely damaged and it is such a special place....

Very sad. I'm sure they will bounce back and I hope to be there again.

Well Rick steves was the first to tell us about this incredible place. Cinque Terre is quite touristy now but will always be very special. Thanks Rick ;and BSio) for letting us know about this disaster. I am thinking of all the local people and wishing them a full and speedy recovery.
