So Friday morning Kate, Shannon and I loaded the car and headed off for Italy. It took us about 5 hours to get there, including a stop or two for some snacks and a bathroom break.
We arrive in Cinque Terre, in a town called Monterosso Al Mere. We found our apartment and were pleasantly surprised at the size of it!! It was cut and paste from an Ikea catalog. Stickers still on many of the utensils! After dropping our bags we ventured into town. About a 5 minute walk lead us to the beach.
We walked along and checked out the shops and restaurants. We walked over a hill and found the “old town” and the ferry to the other towns. We had no real agenda so we decided to jump on the next ferry to go exploring. We were blessed with good weather and checked out a town called Manarola. Cinque Terre means 5 towns so we thought we had a good day hitting two of them right away! The towns were amazing with colors, people, food and GELATO!!
We walked and found some good shops and pictures. Check out all we did our first day there.
