Cinque Terre

After another day in Florence, we took a train to the Italian Riviera to visit the Cinque Terre. I had never been there before, but Jason had been here with his brother when they backpacked years ago. He said it was the one place he really wanted to go. I wish we would've have planned to stay here longer than just 1 night, because it was beautiful. We stayed in Monterosso in a sweet little B&B where the owner was so nice.

After we dropped our suitcases in our room, we went down to the docks and took a boat ride to see each of the 5 towns from the water. Each of the towns are connected by a hiking path. You can hike the whole path in about 6 hours. We weren't there very long, so we only hiked a small trail from Riomaggiore to Manarole on a trail called Via Dell' Amore. It was an easy walk with beautiful views.
