Cinque Terre, Italy

A 5 mile stretch of the West Coast of Italy can provide a lovely, colorful excursion from the interior cities you may go to. Let’s take a look!

Well, friends, that about does it for this episode. There were 2 towns that I didn’t discuss, Monterosso al Mase and Riomaggiore. The latter, we went to by train as we didn’t know about that upper trail until a couple days into our stay. Not much to see there and not allot of shots were taken. Monterosso al Mase was the Northern most town and it was so, “Resort-like,” you know, where you see hundreds of plastic loungers placed in the sand for all the tourists to sun themselves on, well, we just didn’t care to go there. We didn’t leave a hole in our trip as a result of that decision, we opted to visit the towns that did not have that particular tourist vibe. So, we decided to try Piza, instead! A grand trade off to be sure! Next week, Florence and all it has to offer…until then, be and travel well!
