The Cinque Terre 21-23 Oct

The Cinque Terre "The Five Lands" is a rugged portion of coast of the Riviera to the west of the city of La Spezia. The Cinque Terre includes: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
I had been looking forward to this part of our trip the whole way. I wanted to walk the five villages in one day!
It was a fantastic experience but quite difficult in places, especially the 440 stairs to Corniglia. Lake made the walk in a skirt and creepers, Jessee did it with a beer in one hand and a smoke in the other and I nearly died!
The veiws were amazing. We did only make it to four of the villages as it was getting dark and we did not want to miss the last train. Well worth it.
