Cinque Terre Bed and Breakfast

Our Second Favorite Place

Definitely loved Cinque Terre! Its a series of five small fishing villages that, ordinarily, is connected by a coastal trail. So you can hike from village to village, and it takes all of a day. Except a series of landslides took out 3 of the 4 trails, we discovered when we arrived. So there went THAT fantasy. lol. The towns are still connected by a …

Riomagnificent

Cinque Terre, the five villages, four walks. Two challenging walks, one
easy and the other one has no place being described as more than a
gentle stroll (I mean there were girls in heels?). But all five
villages were spectacular viewing.

We stayed in the first town, Riomaggiore, in a lovely little apartment
with the …

Life is good here!!

Hey Everyone!

Well the rain finally stopped and I've been working on my tan ever since. The first night we found a restaurant that we love and we've had dinner there two nights in a row now. I could eat all day...the food here is spectacular. Jono isn't getting enough gelato though and so he will probably have to eat it 3 times today, …

Best Cappuccino EVER!

Catch up: I took a million hour long train ride from Nice to Cinque Terre on a train that is a small intercity commuter train so the seats feel like sitting on an upside down Home Depot bucket. I took a little nappy nap for about an hour until I was woken up by the loud, creepy Italian man. This is where I think I left off.
My first day here I …

Hiking Cinque Terre

Sunny and 35°C

After a leisurely breakfast, we finally left our abode at 10h30 and made our way to the train station to purchase a National Park Pass. Celine suggested we each purchase a bandana to combat the heat and it proved a wise investment of 10 euros. At 11h30 we set out to hike the 12 km of Cinque Terre during the hottest part of …

Trekking Through Cinque Terre

Let me preface this by apologizing for the delayed post – with classes during the week and trips on the weekends, I'm busier than I thought! Here’s what I did on Sunday, September 13th — possibly my favorite day of my trip thus far.

My two friends and I took an early morning train from Florence to Cinque Terre (literally …

Those Cheating *******s

After the World Cup, it took an awful lot of persuasion for me to convince Mick that Italy wasn,t completely full of cheating *******s, and really wouldn,t be that bad. We have spent the last week or so doing nothing but sleep, stare at the sunset over the Mediterranian, and eat. Sounds miserable, doesn,t it? We are staying in a tiny little fishing …

CT Boat day

I woke up about 930 and had cereal and showered, put the meds on my ankle, it felt better, but looked the same. Hale, Mel, Paul(aus) and Jeff(mich) met at Bar Centrale,had breakfast, read some newspaper, they had an article on tourism in Prague that was interesting, also that Peter Jennings died on Sunday. All of us took a train to Vernazza, Mel …
