oday began with a big decision. Take the train to Vernazza and hike 2.1 miles up to Corniglia as this town is higher in elevation. Or take the train to Corniglia. Then take the 375 stairs up into the town from the train station, and then hike down to Vernazza. I gave the decision completely to Amber. She choose option 2 with a twist. She discovered that there was a shuttle bus up to the town of Corniglia bypassing all those steps. My wife is a smart woman.
