Beautiful Viareggio & the five villages of Cinque de Terre

So a group of ten of us the other weekend decided to venture out to a nice little beach located on the lingurian coast called Viareggio. According to Luca, our personal tour extraordinaire, this was a vacation spot for Italian natives--not tourists, so we knew it would be nice. We lucked out and found a quaint little flat that would sleep all 10 of us, what a steal to find the place we did because it was very cute and has several terraces. We hung out on the beach the whole weekend and scoped out some of the night life and then the next morning woke up super early for a day of Cinque de Terre.



The villages of Cinque de Terre, meaning "5 villages" were beautiful. We had sought out to hike the villages but some of us didn't have tennis shoes so we opted for a refreshing boat ride from village to village (in my opinion that was the better choice anyways, we've been doing enough walking as it is..I was worn out just hiking up the hill to get to the window wear you pay to go hike. baaha). The boat gave us a nice scenic view and after almost staying on the boat too long and leaving cinque de terre, we stopped and got off in Riomaggiore to lay on the pebbles, not so comfy but whatever it's Italy, and soaked up some sun. It was a beautiful and relaxing day!
