Travel Thursday Goes Abroad- Cinque Terre

December 21, 2017 by Stacy McAllister in Travel Thursday, travel

Good Morning! I wanted to take you all abroad today to the coast of Italy and Cinque Terre! I studied aboard for a summer in Italy and we were able to go to Cinque Terre (the five Islands)- it was absolutely amazing. I can't remember which of the islands we visited, however the beaches were so beautiful and we were able to do a hike that wove around one of the islands and rock structures. We visited in July, so the temperatures were pretty warm (but cooler by the coast) and it was fairly busy. Of course being a group of American college students we didn't exactly fit in....

If I had more time I would love to go back and spend more time on the islands. If you haven't been, I would highly recommend going! Also take time to explore- the hike that we did was stunning and I got so many wonderful photos (that do NOT do it justice). Adding re-visiting it to my bucket-list (along with London, Iceland, Greece, Asia....hmmmm I've got A LOT of traveling to do!).
