Cinque Terre (Day 12)

Today we decided to hike AGAIN! Our legs were pretty tired from the nearly 4 hour hike we did yesterday, but we were psyched to do some more hiking. We wanted to hike up to a church overlooking the town of Monterosso. Mike led us down the wrong trail to start. It was beautiful for a little while, but then we would have needed a machete to get anywhere so we turned around. We found the correct path and started hiking UP! It took around 50 minutes to get up to the church. It was definitely worth it; beautiful church and beautiful view. We came down, and decided to explore the town of Manarola. So we got on the train. The wrong one apparently. It took us to Riomaggiore and from there we had to buy another ticket and wait for the train to Manarola. Once we got to Manarola, we were starving so we got some slices of pizza and ate on the steps right along the main street. We spent a little time walking up the main street before heading back to our room for a nap. We were spent! We woke up, went to dinner and then to the pub to watch England vs. USA! 1-1. The English gentleman we were watching the game with was not happy about the tie. Another great day in Italy. Tomorrow it’s off to Interlaken, Switzerland!
