My favorite city in Italy!!! I highly recommend visiting the small town of Cinque Terre to anyone traveling to Italy in the near future. Cinque Terre is composed of 5 small villages situated on the coast. The villages are connected by a trail which is roughly an 11 mile hike. The last leg of the hike is very difficult - the trail is only 1 foot wide at some points - which proves to be rather difficult when you have a 30 pound backpack to lug around! The trail also lines the cliffs, so one false step and you're shark bait! We stayed in the first village, Riomaggiore, which had a population of 200. Beautiful beaches, great food, colorful villas, friendly people...this is what you envision when you think of Italy!When the population is only 200, I guess your garbage truck doesn't need to be that big!
my face was getting burned so I covered it up :)
