Saturday - Off to Cinque Terre




We left Chianti early this morning and drove to the coast - with a lot of other folks from Florence - the traffic was much worse today. We wound our way through tiny roads, eventually making it to Monterossa al Mere. Our rroms weren't ready yet - but no problem - we headed out to explore the small town. A picture perfect day with amazing blue seas. We headed to the beach and had lunch overlooking the ocean. Then we hiked over the hill in town and saw the old cemetery. The newer section of town had more crowds and wasn't quite as pretty. AFter a snack we headed back to our hotel and checked in. After a short break, we updated the blog and will head out soon for dinner. We plan some hiking tomorrow and many more pictures in the fantastic spot.
