After Florence, we headed to Cinque Terre. We had seen pictures, but once the train started pulling into Cinque Terre, we realized how gorgeous it was. The train was hugging the side of the mountain and the ocean was so blue. The buildings were built right on the cliff and were all different colors. It looked like a post card. We started up the hill to the hotel which ended up being rooms located all over Riomaggiore. The town was about so tiny, it was perfect. We grabbed a bottle of prosecco and watched the sunset down by the docks. It was perfect. Dinner was in a little family restaurant where we could hear the couple yelling at eachother in the kitchen, but the pesto sauce was perfect and the pizza was the perfect amount of greasy. The next morning we started out on the Blue Trail, a walkway that connects all the 5 towns. We had to stop in the first one we reached for lunch, Manarola, because it was another beautiful town, we wanted to soak it up. We went to Corniglia and found that a rock slide prevented us to go on, so we turned around and walked back. We stopped at the Tunnel of Love to take some pictures. People leave locks there to symbol their commitments or a bandaid to help heal a broken heart. We ended the day in Montrossa (which has a cute beach) for dinner before heading back to the hotel to crash.
