MANAROLA

The bus parked at the top of the cliff and we walked down into the town.  There was no way the bus could go any further.

On the way into the village.
 A small stream through the village
A Nativity display on the hill.  From 12/8 to the end of January the hills in Manarola are illuminated with more than 200 figures and 12,000 lamps making their display the biggest lighted Nativity scene in the world.  Also notice the terraced hillside.
 Still walking into the village.
 Notice the building in the upper right hand corner.  That's where the cemetery is located.  I walked the path along the cliff on my way up to the cemetery.
 Taken along the path up to the cemetery
View from the cemetery.
This is a poster  near the train station showing what the Nativity scene looks like when it is illuminated.
I went to You Tube and found this video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E10DGu7XpRY
