We were lucky enough to spend 4 nights in Cinque Terre. We got to complete the trail between all five coastal towns, explore Vernazza, meet some awesome people and fall in love with the simple way of life. This is from the third town called Cornigla (pronounced Cornelia). The flowers were so beautiful everywhere we went!
This is a view of the town we stayed in called Vernazza. It is the fourth town, out of the five. You could walk the span of the town, top to bottom, in about 10 min or less. The town had 2 bakeries, a few restaurants and 3-4 wineries! It was so laid back and so fun to stay in!
This is a view from our apartment window. It was, by far, one of the best people-watching spots ever! We could watch everything on the main street from our 3rd story window! This was "the cave" which is very famous for it's history and night life. We didn't learn too much about it though...just that it's famous!
Another view from our apartment! You can see the terraced hills behind the town. They are very proud of the wine they make in Vernazza from these vineyards. The local pesto is amazing also!
On our Cinque Terre hikes, we budgeted in gelato stops instead of lunch stops. We have very strict priorities! If you know Eric, this shouldn't be surprising!!!
The colors and windows on the buildings fascinated me!!! All the towns were like their own little art shows!
One of the many vineyards we walked through on the hikes to the different towns. We also got to walk through lemon tree groves, apricot orchards and olive groves. The ocean wasn't too bad to look at either.
On the last day in Vernazza, while doing our laundry, we met a really cool couple (Mel and Michelle) from Australia. We later went for a 25 min swim with them in the freezing cold harbor. Since we were all freezing, we decided to make a delicious dinner of spaghetti and wine at our sweet apartment! It's so fun meeting the nicest people on these trips! Thanks Mel and Michelle for a great night!
This is a view of our apartment! It was so nice and had two great people-watching windows, a kitchen and a comfy bed. We cooked all our meals here and were quite entertained with all the people that walked below us! The windowsill was the best place to have a cup of tea!!! I didn't want to leave here. I loved every minute of my time here and I can't wait to go back...Katie
