Cinque Terre

Rewind a few days... June 17.
This day was probably one of the funnest days of my life! It started at 4:30 in the morning. Yes, 4:30. Now, ask yourself, "How on earth did eight girls get up and ready at 4:30am?!"
No clue.

Now, let me show you why catching a train at 6:10am was worth it...


men working on beautiful wooden boats





a very very very hard hike to get an incredible view of Vernazza




a short stop to eat in Corniglia

a unique bridge of stone that crosses over a mountain stream (with a view of the grand Mediterranean)

a sneak peak of Monterosso...



with only 3 out of the seven girls that were adverturesome enough to hike it with me!


a VERY rewarding beach to look forward to after that difficult hike!

finally, beach time!


a mad rush to the train station to catch the last train leaving for Florence!
 (we literally RAN and almost missed it.)

it was a day that started at 4:30 am and ended at 12:30am...
and it couldn't have been more wonderful!


Ciao Bella!
