Hello again, readers! Continuing on our Italy theme, we have ventured to the Cinque Terre (pronounced "Chinka Terra"), which are five cliffside cities connected only by train tracks and hiking trails. Most of the appeal of the area comes from hiking, so that is what we did- but we also found time to stare vacantly at the spectacular ocean-side views.
As a side note, this is the blog's 111th post. Numbers!
 |
| Our hotel was built on a sheer cliff face, with a precariously tiny road leading up to it. Cars drove on that road, and yet I've seen wider walking paths. |
 |
| Vernaza, one of the five cities. We stayed in Monterosso al Mare. |
 |
| These beautiful views were present for our entire hike to Cornigila, another one of the five cities. |
 |
| We found a random, overgrown trail, and predictably decided to hike on it. |
It is worth noting that we seem to have a particular attraction to things on cliffs. This is unfortunate for the less athletically-gifted members of our family such as myself.
Bonus: Funny signs!
We've encountered several amusing signs on our trip through Italy. Here are a few of them.
 |
| This one is a safety sign, warning you not to let your bags get stolen. The funny part is the thief being incredibly shifty-looking due to wearing a mask completely unnecessarily. |
 |
| Very classy. |
 |
| This looks trustworthy! |
