dward has formed a mild addiction to Nutella.
Cinque Terre is one of the most beatiful places on earth. seriouslly.
comprised of five small villages built into the mountainside along the Ligurian Sea, Cinque Terre is one of these insanley precious, idyllic pieces of the world that would feel like absolute paradise if it weren't for all the tourists, pickpockets, and inevitable fact that it really is only a place you can visit and not stay forever in.
the first day there off the train we got rained out. however, that didn't stop us from walking around up a mountain in a thunder and lightning storm, driking wine and even seeing a mini landslide!
the view was really amazing at twilight.
the next day was beatiful and we woke up to this...
we went to the beach, took glamour shots, and napped. maybe one of the best swimming spots ever.
all the villages are connected by footpaths going alongside the mountain. the nature is one of the real big pleasures of this place. this is the view walking into one of the towns. i swam here while the sun was setting.
the trains in italy suck. so does their customer service. we ended up spending a very long extra-day in Cinque Terre. not the worst place to get stuck but it's never fun to wait at a train station from 11 at night til 4 in the morning. this is a story for another time.
the last day was yet another swimming spot. we woke up early because i thought we were catching the train out and i was determined to go to the ocean one last time. the rest of the day was overcast so i'm really glad i went it when i did. probabally the last time i get to swim in the ocean for awhile. sort of like a bittersweet sendoff to summer. it always makes me a little sad and sentimental. fall officaly began September 22nd.
this was a good way to spend the last few days
