We just went to Cinque Terre, Corniglia was the lowest point. The flights arrived in Milan, spent a short while there, too.

Haven’t been to Cinque Terre yet. Was this your first time? How did you like it? Or is another post coming. 🙂

Yes, there are other posts coming, I took like 5 million photos! 😜 Just haven’t had time to write anything yet. This was my first time there. It was more touristy than I expected – I thought there would be lots of locals coz it was a Sunday, but in fact it was full of foreigners (like me – I’m not judging, just saying!). And I didn’t see the iconic houses on hills… and it was too hot to hike the trails. But I got some colorful pictures, visited 3 of the towns and had a fun day with my friend!

Gorgeous! I’ve wanted to visit Cinque Terre for some time. It looks like our summers will be spent on a sailing boat in Finland from now on though! So I look forward to your photos and making a virtual trip that way. 💕

Thanks, Suvi! Sailing sounds amazing and like a great way to be outdoors. Cinque Terre was on my list ever since I almost visited it in 2003, went to La Spezia but not further! Have to say though, it was more touristy than I expected! But I got some colorful photos, coming up soon ☺️

Cinque Terre is yet another Italian spot I need to discover; every time I see pictures of it, I wish I could fly there immediately!
Right now, I’m happy to get closer and closer to the Mediterranean and home, though… 😀

Anywhere on the Med will do it for me 😊 Used to love the quiet beaches just outside Montpellier, or this small beach of Crete when I stayed in these places…
