::monterosso::

your boat trip ends at monterosso where you spent an afternoon here.  this fishing village is small but touristic

 you walked around the village briefly, it's really charming like the typical scenes one see in a movie, many restaurants and shops that sell all things cinque terre and mediterranean.

 the water is azur blue and standing here your outlook is so surreal, from here you walk a bit further to one of the terrace cafe

 sitting on the terrace this is your picturesque view of monterosso.

 and you can't wait to have a cold punch in the sea soon after the brief lunch pause

 if you're not in the hurry of time, you would sit here sipping your drinks slowly and enjoy the scenery, but you're eager for a swim...

you enjoyed the swim in monterosso with your nephew.  you enjoyed your time in the private beach that you don't know how you manage to get access and was actually in the water for the longest time, riding on the waves.
later you're asked to move on further to the public section of the beach and that's where the nightmare started. as cinque terre only has pebble beach, the pebbles really pierced through your feet (at least the feeling) and you could hardly walk or stand for that matter.  also the waves became stronger and fiercer, it's so strong that you almost swept away by the wave.

nevertheless, this was an unforgettable dip in the sea under the sharp pebbles...
