After seeing photos of Cinque Terre, I just knew I had to see it for myself. It was very close to where we were staying in Lucca, so we decided another day trip was in order!
Be prepared to walk when you go! There are trains connecting the five towns, but there is still quite a bit of walking if you really want to see the sites.
I wish I'd done more research before going....totally would have brought along towels and bathing suits. It was another hot day in Italy and man, that water was beyond tempting!! We let the girls wade in the water a bit and our little one looked just like a local in black short pants and no top! :)
The towns were quaint and lovely. We had an enjoyable meal overlooking the harbor of Vernazza. I really wish we would have had time to stay into the evening, I have a feeling its a place that comes alive at night. A bit of a rushed trip, but still glad to see that I got to see it with my own two eyes!
Back to Lucca for the night and then we'd be heading back to Menaggio for a few more days....this trip sure was going quick! ;)
