The Cinque Terre






After arriving back in Venice at the end of the cruise, we took a train to the west coast of Italy to the Cinque Terre. This spot is a little bit off the beaten path and has incredible scenery. It includes five towns perched on the edge of the Mediterranean and we stayed two nights in one of the towns, Vernazza, home to about 500 locals. During our stay we enjoyed great Italian meals. We loaded up on pesto, which originated from this region. On one of our days we also hiked to the other four towns and Scott swam in the sea. It's a beautiful area and we'd love to visit again!
