What can I say? This is without a doubt one of the coolest places I have ever been. It is beautiful and quaint and small and relaxing and would have been terribly romantic if we had not been accompanied by my parents and Baylie. (Actually, it was my parent's 43rd anniversary, so they're the ones that deserved some romance.)Cinque Terre means "5 lands" and there are five little villages hugging the Italian Riviera coast. They are built right up from the rocks. We stayed in Monterosso al Mare in an apartment right across from the beach and it was great (our apartment is in the green building shown in the middle of the picture below). After visiting a couple of the other places, we realized we had picked the best one for accommodations. We just strolled up and down the boardwalk, visited a couple of the other villages (Manarola, pictured above, and Vernazza), swam in the Mediterranean and basically relaxed.
Baylie loved swimming in the ocean and eating gelato.

The water looks amazing! I can't believe the great hotel you got to stay in! How wonderful for you!
Oh, and LOVE the picture of Baylie covered in gelato. :)
