Fire!!!

We woke up our first morning in Vernazza and went out on the balcony to discover that there was a fire in the Cinque Terra. That led to our decision to hike the other direction that day. I noticed a quite a few cigarette butts on the trail that day. The got the fire out after a day and a half with fire fighting aircraft, so we hiked the other direction the next day. Sure enough you could see where the fire had started right by the trail. I'm sure it was a smoker.
