All three days have been huge. We got up close to the Five Towers via a ski lift. You may have heard of the Cinque Terre well this is the Cinque Torre. We spent two hours climbing and roaming around the rock spires and parkland. Throw in the extensive WWI excavations which we also spent some time in. We found our way down via a circuitous route and walked through 500metres of trenches.
Later we drove further to where the Italian and Austrian lines were only 10 minutes apart. The amount of work that was done to establish the lines was incredible. We found some old tunnels bored in the rock with shoot holes. Good thing my video camera has a light for the dark.

This was fabulous. Hard to imagine soldiers fighting for their lives here now that we are walking around looking at the views.
