Cinque Terre, Italy

Wow, Cinque Terre. Si Yue (who you will be properly introduced to in the next post, if you don’t know her already) told me about this place about a year ago, when she went backpacking through Italy. She told me of it’s beautiful waterfront and mountains and quant town-ness and nice hiking trails. She did not, however, tell me about this:DSCN1832I had to walk up all of those steps to get to my hostel!! In the rain! How many steps were there, Orad? Well, let’s count:DSCN1833

It’s no wonder I was sick my whole time in Cinque Terre. Well, that’s the sad truth. I didn’t get to explore it as much as I wanted to. I did go for a short walk, though (in the daylight) so I can share these, at least:

Apparently, views like this go on for hours and hours as you walk around the trails and beaten paths, but I didn’t get to see them myself.

I did manage to get an authentic Italian meal, there: DSCN1846

The owner of the restaurant even brewed the wine we were served at the table:DSCN1845Look at the label on the bottle. Classic.

Finally, (kind of uselessly) check out the toilets they had there:DSCN1837

Si Yue in Rome! (ha.)
