Here we go! Post número due! This is a little more challenging when everything on the website is in italiano....guess there's no better way to learn!
So I apologize for not having pictures yet, I am still learning this whole blogging thing!
This morning we went down to the hotel dining room for breakfast. Yummy! Cappuccino, croissants, prosciutto, Brie, fruit. Soo good. We explored Manarola yesterday and today we will check out more towns on the Cinque Terre. This area is made up of five tiny villages (Cinque Terre literally means "Five Lands") clinging to the cliffs. These towns are, in order from north to south, Monteresso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Yesterday after exploring Manarola, we walked along the "Via dell'Amore" or "Pathway of Love" that connects Manarola to Riomaggiore. All along this path there are locks that couples have attached to fences and graffiti. After WWII, this pathway served as a place for young lovers to meet between the two towns. We then took a train back to Monteresso where we had dinner at a pizzeria. We had some gelato after dinner as we explored the town at night. I got ciocollate and caffe. Yum!
Ok we are headed now to Riomaggiore and then Corniglia! More info on my adventure getting from the aeroporto to this beautiful area to come!
