There are five villages on this coast . Together they are called the Cinque Terre — the Five Lands . They sit on cliffs above the sea , in Liguria , in the north of Italy . Cars can not reach them easily . But one small train links them all . Anna takes the train to Vernazza . The houses are pink and yellow . Boats sleep in the little harbour . A footpath goes along the cliff to the next village , Monterosso . It is the old way , before the train . The path climbs through vineyards . The grapes grow on narrow steps of stone . People built these walls by hand , many years ago . But the sea is always there , blue and far below . After two hours , she reaches Monterosso . She buys a cold drink near the beach . Then she takes the train back . The train needs only four minutes . The walk needed two hours . Both were good , Anna thinks . But she earned the view on foot .
