Cinque Terre












We are spending 3 days in the Cinque Terre region which is on the coast in Northwest Italy. 5 villages in the Italian Riviera with the clearest, bluest aquamarine water you have ever seen. We are staying in Riomaggiore hamlet in a 3 story walk up room with small kitchenette. The view from our terrace of the water and surrounding buildings is serene and very relaxing. We have gone to the small food markets every day to purchase delicious pasta, bread, juice, fresh fruits and vegetables. The sun dried tomatoes and pesto sauce are fabulous! For some reason I can't understand at all, Rob is especially attracted to anchovies. yeech! Rob left early to go on a cliff side hike between the 5 towns and I am going to spend time knitting, reading and giving my feet a bit of a break from the walking and endless stairs. This area of Italy is very beautiful - it is easy to unwind and feel rejuvenated quickly. Thursday, we take a long train ride to Bolzano in the Alps....
Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my mother today! xxoo

Breath taking. It reminds me of the time I spent in Camogli. Have a lovely time knitting!

We spent 5 days in Corniglia. Loved it. We walked most of it, and took the train to the beach on a couple of days. I'm glad you are enjoying it as well.
