"Beautiful Cliffs"

Random idea crossed my mind to go to Cinque Terre on a saturday afternoon and hike all day. My roommate Jess and I left Milan at 2p.m. on the train for Cinque Terre. We were under the impression that it took only a hour and 30 minutes to get there but we were so wrong. We ended up being on the train for 3 hours and were very restless and getting frustrated because it was slowly getting later and later and we didn't think we would have any time to hike because it would be dark. We finally arrived at 5:05p.m. in Monterosso and then found out the last train left Monterosso at 6:55p.m. so this was going to be a very quick trip haha. Well we started to explore the town and I am so glad I decided to come to this ocean front town because it was BEAUTIFUL! The water was the color of a Tiffanys box  and the air smelled like fresh beach the smell that I live for. The Cliffs on the outskirts of the water were my favorite part of the whole town they were like nothing I had ever seen before.  As we were hiking up to the top of the mountain, I let all my stress from the week just escape, because I was at such peace. Overlooking the Deep blue sea and realizing how special this town really was. A cool fact I learned about Cinque Terre is that it is known for its Anchovies and pesto. After our short hike we were starving we hadn't eaten all day long and the only thing that was open was a wine and cheese bar. It is known in Monterosso for being the oldest and best wine bar in the town. The cheese and bruschetta was pretty good but I wanted a real meal at this point of starvation!
