| The Bell Tower and Cathedral |
Florence is a lovely smaller city that is home to the Duomo and a couple of nice museums. While we were there, we enjoyed a nice rainy morning and spent our day exploring a museum, walking throughout the city, looking for some good pasta, and enjoying some gelato.
After Florence, we decided to get away from seeing all of the cathedrals and museums and spend some time in the outdoors. Before Spring Break I had never heard of the Cinque Terre and I still don't know how to pronounce it, but now I will be recommending it to anyone who wants to go on some gorgeous hikes along the coast. The Cinque Terre is made up of 5 small coastal cities and is a path that cuts through the mountains connecting each city with amazing views of the sea the entire way. Although at first, we didn't know if we would make it very far hiking up, we completed the open paths while singing along to some great songs, and meeting some people from around the world along the way! Since the views were the best part, here are some pictures to enjoy:
Moving from city to city means getting to weave up and down the mountains with all of our stuff. Here we go!
Saying there were lots of stairs would be an understatement. Needless to say, the legs were hurting for a few days.
