Five must see villages
I’ve somehow talked myself in to adding on Cinque Terre to my list. I persuaded myself that I needed to visit the place after reading about the area and its rocky coastline, terraced hills and vineyards sloping steeply down to the sea. Five little villages built into the rocks between the beach and the hills. You can hike, swim, drink red wine, and watch blazing Mediterranean sunsets away from the tourist throngs in the Italian cities and the French Riviera. Centuries old footpaths and mule tracks wind about 500 to 1,000 feet above the sea, leading through olive groves and vineyards, orchards and chestnut woods. Each village has its own character, and I can hike from village to village. Convincing right? But this means re-arranging my entire itinerary, and it looks like I may now convince myself to add on another week to my trip??? Not sure if my wallet can handle it but I’m willing to take the risk.
