Cinque Terre

About a month ago I get on an ITT trip with some ladies from the EOD shop to Cinque Terre.  The weather was wonderful, it was pretty warm, but not hazy, which is good.  Our guide didn’t take us to do all the things that we were supposed to do, I definitely want to go back and spend more time there on our own. Here are some pictures of this amazing place!

First stop….Manarola

We hopped on a boat and went to the bay by La Spezia.  I’m not sure what this places was called, but there is an old castle here, good lookout point.

After we were done for the day, we got back on the bus and went to Genova (Genoa), where our hotel was.  We passed by this…they say it’s the ship from the Goonies and also one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Portofino- One of the richest places in Italy.  They say that it is known as the resort of the rich and famous.  We didn’t see anyone famous…bummer

We had a pretty amazing time, the pesto was FABULOUS!  Will definitely have to buy more when we go back.  This region of Italy is where Pesto originated from, simply the best!
