Cinque Terre, Italy

After scootering in Siena, Chris and I took a series of trains to get to this picturesque haven of 5 little cliff towns on the coast of Northern Italy. We stayed in a spare bedroom at Paula's house in Vernazza, who kindly met us at the train station and escorted us to our room over the tracks. Despite the frequent trains that went by, we had a beautiful view of the hill side:


Within a 5 minute walk of Paula's was the welcoming Mediterranean Sea, spotted with all of these cute little boats that they actually used for commercial and recreational purposes.


The second night that we were there we ate at the old castle and watched the sunset over the sea...amazing.



On our last full day in these parts, we made the 9 km trek from town to town, up and down the cliffs, resting frequently because it was well over 100 degrees. Some of the best shots of the towns:
