At the beginning of last week the weather forecast predicted rain all week. We were all really bummed especially about Cinque Terre. We knew we would be hiking (yes, you heard that right.) and that it was coastal. So all week I was praying that I would take rain everyday in Siena and Florence but just to spare us Cinque Terre. And God is good because we couldn' t have had prettier weather. It was a little cold but with the most beautiful skies. Everything looked like a postcard. I felt like it wasn't reality and I was just looking into a backdrop.
Cinque Terre means "5 lands" because it is made up of five little towns. When I signed up for this trip and they mentioned hiking I didn't really take them seriously. Hmmm definitely found out they weren't kidding the first day. We hiked for 5 hours from the first town to the second. 5 hours! Can you believe I did that?! And to be honest, I really enjoyed it. The nature and me were definitely "one" that day. ha! Saturday we visited the other 4 towns which were all made up of a cluster of colored houses. If you come to Italy, I highly recommend Cinque Terre. From the last town there's a walkway called Via dell'Amore which is a lovers lane. It was so cute, but I wish I had had a boy to walk it with me :). I tried to hold Jess's hand but she didn't like that too much. People come and write on the walls and its an Italian tradition to put a lock on the walkway to symbolize your relationship's strength. We were all very sad to leave this breathtaking place! Enjoy the pictures!
