Cinque Terre (Day 11)

Today we hiked the coastal pathway through all of the towns of Cinque Terre! We woke up early, got our hiking attire on and grabbed some coffee before boarding the regional train to Riomaggiore. We hiked without stopping through the towns of Manarola and Corniglia before stopping in Vernazza for lunch. That part of the hike was a good 2 hours and 15 minutes. We split a delicious pesto pizza, and Mike got the tastiest beer at a small pizzeria in Vernazza. We also climbed up to the top of the castle to check out the beautiful view. Then we were off to continue to finish the hike from Vernazza to Monterosso. This portion of the hike was very hilly, and took us about an hour and a half. When we got to Monterosso we jumped in the ocean and spent some time relaxing on the beach. For dinner we ate pasta again, then went to a pub near our room to watch France and Uruguay play in the World Cup. We’re tired! Goodnight.
