After 3 hours sleep we got the train to Cinque Terre and wow what an amazing place!! We were shattered so managed 2/5 of the towns that eve before crashing but still did all the steps up to Corniglia and the beach place Monterosso for a lil pizza and ice cream. Then an amaaaaazing sleep in an air conditioned private room 😍😍😍 next day got up early to go to the shop to get stuff for breakfast and lunch (£4 for it all we are saver queens) then headed back to Monterosso to start our hike. It was sweaaaty and we struggled at first but the views of Vernazza made it definitely worth it!!! A swim was needed before eating our amazing focaccia sandwiches and hopping onto the train to Manarola. This place was again beautiful and we watched people jumping off rocks before we stopped for a coke to cool down (€5 not quite budget queen behaviour :/ ) also got told we couldn’t play cards because it’s illegal in Italy ??? We were baffed just let me play shithead 😭 onto the final town of Riomaggiore for a mooch and a smaller walk to play where’s wallie with the people and colourful umbrellas!! Decided we fancied another meal of bread and cheese (what can beat it) and a sunset swim followed by people watching!! Then it was time to say goodbye to Cinque Terre but we’ll both be back (again with more money- finding there’s a bit of a theme with Italy). Now at the train station where we keep getting told our overnight train is more and more delayed :( will see if we make it to Pompeii!Read more
