One of my favourite Italian holiday spots is the world heritage listed Cinque Terre.
The five fishing towns are full of magic, peace and beauty.
I was devastated to hear that due to bad weather, mud slides and torrential rain, Cinque Terre has been almost wiped out.
One town Monterosso, they are saying does not exist anymore and the other four have lots of damage and problems.
My thoughts are with the people who lost their lives, homes, businesses and towns.
Here are some beautiful photos my father took just 2 weeks ago when he visited.
