Cinque Terre, Italy - DAY TWO



















Today we were a little sluggish due to the amount of wine we consumed....
I got up at 8:30am and hit the FREE breakfast so that I could go back to the room and tell Luke whether or not he should bother getting out of bed for it. I told him he should. We went down to the dining room and enjoyed yogurt, fruit and capuccino. From there Luke went back upstairs and I headed out to sit by the water and tan. It was especially lovely because it was only about 9:30am so it was pretty quiet down by the water so I found myself a prime tanning spot near the rocks. Luke joined me about an hour and a half later. We relaxed and tanned and read. At about 3:00pm we decided to head to Corneglia (The 3rd town of Cinque Terre) as we were going to meet one of the couples from the previous night for dinner so we decided we might as well leave early and check the town out.
We got to Corneglia at about 4:30pm and proceeded to walk up the 400 stairs to the town from the railway station... NO FUN but good for us, we know! Once we got up we wandered around and actually ran into the couple we were meeting later. We agreed that we would still meet at 7:30pm and Luke and I decided to climb down 400 stairs to get to the swimming cove for a read and an explore. At about 6:00 we headed back up.. MORE STAIRS to sit in the tiny Piazza and sip a capuccino (No more coffee for us, we've officially switched over!). We were finished our sit down before the designated meeting time so we wandered a little outside of the town to enjoy the view of the ocean and the vinyards and then met up with Kasia and Andrzej for dinner. Luke and I split a plate of mussels... YUM... and we both had an order of Seafood Spaghetti... YUM YUM YUM! After dinner we all went to the Piazza for an after dinner drink (Capuccino for me, tea for Luke) and then Luke and I caught the 10:45pm train back to Vernazza and bed.
