Trains connect the villages of Cinque Terre with the rails passing through each. During the day we could hear the train coming and going from anywhere in the village. The last train ran at around 9:00 pm or 21:00 Italian time. So, the sound surprised me the first night. Very loud, kind of like the sound of the train but without the bumpety texture of the tracks. Our second night the same sound awakened me several times. After comparing notes the next day, we realized we were listening to the wind wooshing in from the sea through the narrow main street of Vernazza!
