The tour was well organised and Michaela, assisted by Ado, dealt with everything very well. The bikes are very good but be prepared for some stiff climbs on the first two days and the Mistral at any time. Don't forget your Camelbak or your sunblock.

Nice trip, good scenery

5 - Excellent

To me, this was a really good little one week trip away. The scenery on the walks Veriano took us on was great. Apart from climbing up Tre Calli the trend on the walks is mostly down hill. A feature of some of the walking is the time spent going down the many many steps in the area. This can agitate sensitive knees. Sometimes the steps are rough stone steps, sometimes they are neatly contructed concrete. Perceptions of how difficult the walking is will obviously vary with ability from one person to another. To me the walking was not difficult and we were on the move for 4-5 hours in total each day but there was never any rush and rest/photo stops were frequent. There is a short section on path of the gods where you might need to get your hands down on the rocks though. The village of Bomerano is small, there are some shops, the opening time of which, to me, were entirely random. I'm sure they weren't but that's how it felt. There is a small grocers/convenience shop right next door to the hotel if you want snacks and drinks. The Hotel Due Torri was nice. A relatively small family run hotel. I had no complaints. Any drinks and meals not on the itinery you buy during the week are charged to your room and settled on the last night, rather than pay as you go. Breakfast options were simple but sufficient. The evening meals were high quality and very well prepared and generally very Itallian. Pity Itallian style food is not really to my taste. I have to thank my group mates for feeding me extra of what I wasn't being fussy about :D Our free day options came down to visiting Herculaneum or Sorrento and Capri. There were some concerns about whether Capri was going to be in low season slumber like Amalfi and Positano and also if the ferry would run reliabley given the variable weather conditions at the time so most of us chose Herculaneum, which I thought was great, as good as pompei, just smaller.

Amber warning

This was a great trip, with spectacular scenery, delicious food and a comfortable hotel. Although the steps (up and down) involved should not be underestimated, the 'amber warning' refers to the rainstorm that coincided with our day off. Despite this, I would recommend this trip to anyone who enoys coastal scenery and even suggest this relatively late departure date to avoid some of the crowds in the popular Cinque Terre villages.
