      Rest & Relax in Riomaggiore

      June 11, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Sitting on our private balcony overlooking the Riomaggiore with the Italian Vintage Summer 🌺 playlist! Just returned from a meandering wander through the very picturesque streets and tunnels of this beautiful town! And, in case you’re wondering 💭 Yes! The business owners seem friendly & relaxed 😌 It’s so refreshing to experience mutual respect ✊🏻 after V.

      It’s just turned 6pm. Wine 🍷 time on the terrace. Sun ☀️ is high in the sky on a 30 degree day. Oh! I dread 😬 coming back to Winter 🥶 after being treated to a second Summer 🌺
      If only I could travel indefinitely… I’m really pleased with my thought in packing this time: I have worn everything I have brought which often doesn’t happen. It’s still an extra stress, especially post Covid and flying cheap-ass airlines like RyanAir! You almost have an anxiety 😦 attack hoping your case doesn’t go universal the strict requirements… more than allowance equals big bucks 💰 extra! 🥹

      Been for 3 swims 🏊‍♂️ today and I’m feeling relaxed but I must admit that a week looking a pretty painted houses 🏘 and navigating 🧭 steps and hills and rocks 🪨 is probably enough. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve adored every town except V… well, not true. It was spectacular too. Just the folks needed to attend Tourism 101. 😝😝😝😊

      Richard & I went into the local deli and bought some goats 🐐 cheese 🧀 which is yum 😋 and focaccia, strawberries 🍓 (with taste!) and freshly picked olives 🫒 for pre dinner 🍽 platter. Having an actual apartment, as in London last week, certainly adds to the enjoyment of having space and room to move, along with your own space. This apartment is bigger than mine! It’s fabulous 😎😎😎

      Enjoy Riomaggiore by day… ☀️🍋🥐🍕🍸🍷🚄
      I’ll take some nighttime representation when the sun goes down. At 9pm 😝😝😝      Read more

      Riomaggiore

      March 30 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Trotz bewölktem Wetter kauften wir ein Zugticket um die Cinque Terre zu erkunden. Beim ersten Stopp in Riomaggiore stiegen wir gefühlte 1000 Treppen nach unten und auch wieder nach oben. Sehr faszinierend und wunderschön zu sehen, wie die Leute dort in diesen steilen Gassen und den bunten Häusern, alle mit Blick auf das Meer, leben. Für uns noch erstaunlicher, dass trotz etwas schlechterem Wetter so viele Touris umherschwirrten. Nicht auszudenken, wie das wohl im Sommer ist.Read more

      Cinque Terre

      July 22, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      We had a bit of a sleep in today before hiking south of Riomaggiore to Punte Pineda, a lookout further down the coast. Nicky and Alex stayed at the Airbnb and did their own thing while we went on this adventure.

      We took in some large breaths as we climbed vertically out of Riomaggiore and took in some incredible views once we were at the top! We then followed the main road for a bit before then descending down towards the lookout point where we had some more incredible views! It was starting to get pretty hot so we decided to turn around and make our way back to Riomaggiore, chatting and taking in the views as we did so. We thought the walk would be about an hour each way but with the elevation (and the heat) it took about 2 hours there and another hour back!

      After that effort, we grabbed some arancini and fish in cones for lunch before meeting up with Alex and Nicky at the beach for chats, chilling and swims. The beach is very rocky and the waves were quite strong in that area so we mostly sat on the edge of the rocks and enjoyed the water splashing on us! It was getting pretty hot so we all opted for an afternoon gelato on our way back to the place - today's flavours consisted of: mixed berries; ginger and orange; ricotta and honey; and mango. Delicious!

      We then chilled back at the place for a bit and enjoyed the views from the balcony before we bought some takeaway pizza for dinner and together walked up to a bar on the side of the cliff! After 20 minutes of straight stairs and being covered in sweat due to the heat, we arrived at the bar and had a stunning view over the ocean and of the sunset as we enjoyed some cocktails and snacks. We had gelato cocktails (with a lot of cream) which were so delicious! Just as we were about to leave, Alex and Nicky joined us and so we stayed for a little bit longer for another drink before descending down and back to our Airbnb.      Read more

      Cinque Terre

      May 18, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Einen wunderschöner Tag haben wir heute erlebt. Für unsere Verhältnisse früh um 8:45 h sind wir von Levanto mit dem Zug nach Riomaggiore gefahren und nach einem Kaffee bei herrlichem Sonnenschein zum Via del Amore aufgebrochen, um zum nächsten Ort zu wandern. Aber der Weg ist gesperrt und muss renoviert werden. Nicht schlimm, so sind wir mit dem völlig überfüllten Zug nach Manarola gefahren und nach Corniglia gewandert, 3 Stunden,und ca. 400 Hm und fix und fertig. Nach einem guten Essen haben wir uns dann auf den Rückweg per Zug gemacht. Jetzt trinken wir etwas Wein und legen unsere Beine hoch.Read more

      Cinque Terre Riomaggiore

      February 28, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Gestern Nachmittag haben wir beschlossen, einen Ausflug in La Spezia zu unternehmen.
      Ursprünglich wollten wir mit dem Bus P nach Porto Venere fahren.
      Morgen gehen wir zeitig frühstücken und dann in die Stadt. Wir warten auf dem Bus, können jedoch nicht mitfahren, da man hierzu nur ein Ticket außerhalb kaufen kann und wir ohne diesen Ticket keinen Einlass in den Bus bekommen. Wir gehen weiter zum Bahnhof und kaufen dort statt der Cinque Terre Card, welche fast 16 € kostet nur ein normales Ticket nach Rio Maggiore, es kostet Tour retour pro Person 5 € dann warten wir am Bahnhof auf unseren Zug nach sestri Levante 12.15 Abfahrt jede Stunde... .zurück um14.35Read more

      Riomaggiore - Cinque Terre

      June 26, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Cinque Terre. Ett paradis på jorden. Det var faktiskt en gammal flickvän (eller ja, hon var väl inte så gammal egentligen) till mig som satte upp Cinque Terre på vår då gemensamma bucket-list. Jag skall erkänna att jag var väl inte jättepepp. Har du sett Venedig, Florens och Rom har du fått en ganska tydlig bild av allt vackert som Italien har att erbjuda resonerade jag. Jag skall villigt erkänna att jag hade fel. Väldigt fel. Man skall aldrig ångra något här i livet, brukade hon säga. Men rebellisk som jag är ångrar jag faktiskt att vi aldrig åkte hit. Dumma beslut brukar ofta gå att korrigera, även om det är svårsvald manlig stolthet som står på spel. Så därför står jag nu här och njuter för fullt i mitt eget sällskap. Ibland blommar falukorven. Ibland får man måla dit dem själv.Read more

      Riomaggiore-Riotouristika

      June 21, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Lange ist der Besuch im Miniatur-Wunderland in Hamburg her. Dort verliebten wir uns sofort in die Miniaturausgabe von Riomaggiore in Italien. Damals stand fest, dass das Dorf ganz oben auf dem Reiseplan stehen sollte.
      Was soll man nun sagen nach diesem Tag.
      Riomaggiore sowie alle anderen vier Dörfer der Cinque Terre sind maßlos überlaufen von Menschen. Die Menschen die dort seit Jahrzehnten leben tun uns einfach nur leid und gerade bei mir stellte sich ein schlechtes Gefühl ein, zu diesen Massen an diesem Tag dazu zu gehören.
      Riomaggiore erlebten wir als erstens Ziel sehr früh morgens noch leer und mit Einheimischen in den Cafés. Dies veränderte sich keine 45 Minuten später.
      So ging es viel früher als gedacht zurück zum Campingplatz.      Read more

      A day in Riomaggerio

      October 15, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Ollie and I started our day with a leisurely walk through the sleepy town. Feels very safe and Ollie enjoys time wondering without being in the pram.

      At the end of our walk we brought out fresh bread, eggs and an Americano for mummy.

      Whilst preparing breakfast we did our daily calls starting with daddy who never answers! Mum next then Annie snd then the Ukrainians who are always eating and drinking when we face time.

      After lounging, doing laundry, hanging out clothes outside the window on a pulley, we headed out to explore. When we opened door to go outside an elderly Neighbour asked me to wring out my clothes before hanging as now her dry clothes beneath our line. Lesson learnt.

      After walking for two hours Ollie had pizza and a movie at home. I used the time to catch up on my neglected travel diary.

      We have been travelling since 26 September and today was the first day to relax and think about easy days ahead. 1. Walk. 2.breakfast and catching up with family at home and general organisation. 3. Main activity for the day making sure I have some hidden treats for my brave walking companion 4. Couple hours lounge time. 5. Brief explore and find dinner to take home and cook you night I did fresh pasta with butter and garlic for Ollie. Me I had anchovies and most beautiful baby tomatoes. 6. Small walk for ice cream and people watching. It is not tourist season but still enough foreign accents floating around.
      7. Home wash feet hands and teeth and to bed. We only stay awake until 6.30 Italy time hence we are up early.

      La Spezia

      July 25, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Vandaag staat de rest van Cinque Terre op het progamma!

      Eigenlijk zou ik vandaag moeten vertrekken, maar ik heb gister mijn verblijf met een dag verlengd.

      Izzy en ik vertrekken vandaag om 08:00 naar Cinque Terre.

      Het eerste dorpje van vandaag is Corniglia.
      Om in het dorpje te lopen moet je een trap van 382 tredes beklimmen. Het koppel uit New York heeft ons verteld dat dit een erg zware wandeling is van 30 minuten lang, zij hebben tussendoor drie keer moeten stoppen.

      Voor de wandeling houdt ik mijn hart vast.
      Uiteindelijk duurde het 10 minuten om naar boven te komen.
      Niets bijzonder aan.

      We wandelen wat door Coniglia en zien de mooiste uitzichten.

      Vervolgens nemen we de trein naar Manarola.
      Ik denk dat dit mijn favoriete plek is in Cinque Terre.
      Hier kan je absoluut prachtige uitzichten vinden.
      In het dorp lunchen we en genieten van het uitzicht.

      (Iets wat mij opvalt is dat de helft van de mensen welke hier rond loopt nederlands spreekt.
      Izzy vind mij maar sociaal tegen iedereen)

      Vervolgens vertrekken we naar Monterosso.
      Hier zwemmen we de rest van de middag.

      Om 19:30 gaan we door naar Riomaggiore.
      Het doel is om de zonsondergang te zien.
      We halen eten, vanavond staat er vis op het progamma.
      We klimmen vervolgens over rotsen om het mooiste uitzicht te krijgen.

      Helaas wordt het precies op dit moment bewolkt dus er valt weinig van de zonsondergang te zien.
      Ondanks dit hebben we een prachtig uitzicht over het dorp en de zee.

      Om 22:00 nemen we aanstalten om naar huis te gaan.
      Op het station komen we nog wat dronken mensen van het hostel tegen waar we mee kletsen terwijl we op de trein wachten.

      Onderweg naar het hostel halen we nog een ijsje. Wie krijgt er nou genoeg van Italiaans ijs?      Read more

      Vernazza

      October 15, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      We purchased the Cinque Terre rail pass. 40 Eros and Ollie free. For the next three days we can travel between the four villages endlessly.

      Vernazza is the last stop and the busiest but the best. Access to the ocean.

      We had a four star lunch on the ocean edge.

      This village was home to wealthy Italians. Hence the building are larger snd grander than her sister villages.

      In 2011 Vetnazza was hit with a massive flood down the centre of the village.      Read more
