Day 42 Thursday 31 October  Levanto and Framura

After the exertions of yesterday, a more restful day today;  the morning was taken up with  laundry to last us for the coming week during  our journey home ( ferry from Caen Wed 6 overnight)
I wandered around the old town area for half an hour and spotted the entrance to the uphill  walk trail to Monterosso not far from the campsite .
Very taken  by the beauty of  Rationalist architecture of the Casino hotel restaurant on the beach, built by the mayor in 30's to attract the big wigs and starlets.
As the weather was drizzly, my toe was still bruised and painful for any  uneven walking , we opted to do the off road  flat cycle/ walk way from Levanto to 2 local villages , Bosonolara  and Framura , Levanto had turned a disused railway  into a car free cycle walk way  path through many hill  tunnels with occasional breaks for  glimpses of rocky outlets and small coves to peer down into, a satisfying  10 k in total.
Watched the small children back in Levanto town centre  dressed up in full make up ,witches, devils, imps  outfits scampering between shops ,the shop keepers came outside to encourage them, a cafe had a Halloween party on tho go , filled with very  excited  children racing around👹👻❤️and blaring music.We retreated to the van for an evening of resting, reading and blogging and another night of  clock chimes  every 15 minutes on this beautiful campsite ! Tough walking from here for the very fit.
