You go on a vacation in Cinque Terre<\/strong>, Italy, you are in a relax mode and all of a sudden, an unforeseen event makes you active again. Journalistic reflex or maybe just human curiosity, I have no idea, all I know was that I was in the very first line of all the people gathered to watch, using to a maximum the camera and the phone…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A quiet morning in Riomaggiore. Nothing announces what was about to happen… The small port is unbelievable! I take the boat. Today I planned to visit two neighboring villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I come back to Riomaggiore, an ambulance<\/strong> deafens me with its sirens passing by me and the rest of the tourists on the narrow main street of the village. We look to see what happens. Probably someone is sick from the sun \u2013 I tell myself and go up the hill to my room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A terrible noise makes me get out on the balcony. I see a helicopter<\/strong> over the port and a person going down from it. Ooops, this is definitely not a good sign. Although I am all sweaty from going up the hill, full of dust after a day of traveling around and very tired, I take my camera and go down to the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACCIDENT IN CINQUE TERRE?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The small port is full of people gathered as if for a show. Some take pictures, others speak in different languages about what happened and I catch the “breaking news”: a young tourist went up the rocks, just like many others to jump from there into the sea. Maybe she chose the wrong rock or maybe she did not jump right, the idea is she hurt her back on the rocks<\/strong>. Terrible! (Someone says she hit the rocks under the water). I tremble at the thought of the pain the poor woman is in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
