When on a hot day I was walking uphill, tired and sweating, I was thinking about the local people
who have to walk up to their terraces every day. In addition, while I only had a camera and a bottle of water with me,
they have been carrying stones, tools, grapes and olives for centuries.
Thanks to modern technology, life today is a little easier as they have created a great monorail system in the Cinque Terre.
The little trains go up and down the hills, usually with one man at the front but you can also sit to the back.
They are used to carry tools, olives, grapes and anything growing on the terraces.
So life is somewhat easier in the 21st century but one thing is sure, local people don't need to go to the gym for exercise…
Some years ago, I had the chance to travel on a trenino.
It was really fun so we even made a short video which I am happy to share with you.
