Wednesday on the train, we're listening to an English woman, who says she's a professor, talk about the Cinque Terre but she says it as "sinkie terrie". We laughed our butts off. Check in finds us at a beach front hotel with an ocean view room for 2 nights in Monterosso. We walked the beach for a while, had dinner, met a couple from Colorado, had good conversation and called it a night.

Thursday found us on the hiking trail between 2 of the 5 communities that make up the Cinque Terre. It was a 3k hike that should have taken about 2 hours. Prayers were answered and we thank whoever it was that offered them because it d#mn near killed these 2 pudgy girls ! We looked closer at the topigraphical chart and determined AFTER that we hiked the hardest trail of all the cities.

Krystal enjoying her idea of hiking...sitting!
How much higher!?!
We then went swimming in the Mediterrainean Sea and later watched a lady change her swim suit right there on the beach - you read between the lines for that one. Dinner was an american steak at a nice resturante cuz most of the menue was sea food. We're heading to Pisa next.
