Rick Steve's Europe

Description

This video may seem like not much, but if you've been to the Cinque Terre you know the thrill of going through the black train tunnel, gazing into the darkness, waiting for the colorful glory of the Riviera to blast into view. The chugging rhythm of the rails, the dank smell of the tunnels, the playfully meandering white line on the tunnel wall — and the ear-splitting but strangely happy screech of the train as it lumbers to a halt in your own little chunk of Mediterranean paradise — are all part of the ritual of a holiday in Italy's Cinque Terre.
