Cinque Terre

This has to be the best and worst of the trip so far. Lisa and I didn't have accomodation so we had to get a new place each night. This ranged from a 1 star hotel, to a room with an ocean view, to a hostel high in the town hills. However the plus sides were hiking from town to town along a coastal path with awesome vies of the villages. We also met a group of Aussies and Kiwis and hung out with them for a while.
Let me backtrack and explain Cinque Terre. Its a national park that contains 5 costal towns. They're all cramed in between the mountains and the ocean. Everything is so compact and beautiful, we didn't want to leave. Each town has a beach or swimming area. This ranges from sandy beaches to rock outcroppings to dive off. Overall, the place is picturesque and definately on the "places to return to" list for my next Italy trip.
