Cinque Terre!

If you haven't been to Cinque Terre or even heard of it add it to your list of places to go, its unreal. After being in Florence for two weeks I was in need for some serious open space and that's exactly what I got this weekend!

Cinque Terre or "the five lands" is a collection of five villages on the coast of Italy. We saw two of the five and each one is prettier than the next. Out first stop was Manarola, where we had a short hike around the village on the Manarolino Trail which I seriously recommend for anyone who's a little outdoorsy. Despite the overcast day we had it was perfect! Prepare yourself for way too many pictures on this one:

After the hike we spent about an hour exploring the small fishing town and took a short train ride to the next village Monterosso, again really amazing!

After Monterosso, we took a boat ride to Porto Venere. Where i stocked up on some pesto, an awesome castle, and visited a  pirate church!

Sorry for the obnoxious amount of pictures, but for some places words just don't do any justice.
