Italy again?

Yes, Italy again and I was referring to Cinque Terre

The overall setting was beautiful and picture perfect, but Vernazza was a bit too packed for my liking. Food/local cuisine is an integral part of our travel, and I felt slightly shortchanged on that aspect. Too many restaurants serving American breakfast.

And I thought Riomaggiore was pretty awesome and will spend more time there if I am visiting there again. We spend the last evening in the area at Riomaggiore and the sunset hour was beautiful. And the best meal I had in that region was at a small little restaurant in Corniglia. More in the travelogue later

From the hotel room...

The View from the hotel pic seemed very very familiar to me. Turns out, I have stayed at that very hotel a few times when in Munich. It is the preferred hotel for several Nokia folk. Step into the lobby and shout out Nokia, you will get a response. lol

There is big nice Porsche Center on a street behind the hotel. I have visit that place everytime I have stayed in this hotel.

Holiday Inn Munich City Center is the preferred hotel when visiting there, especially due to the location. Never been to the Porsche center though
