Cinque Terre

so, after a amazingly beautiful 4 week trip I'm back (well not back on English turf just yet, refusing to come home until I am mistaken for a Mediterranean local) and nearly 2000 photos later ( I know...) it's time to share a few of them and the gorgeous places we experienced.

Firstly, I give you, the Cinque Terre

We stayed at a little campsite called La Sfinge just outside of the 5 villages which I highly recommend for travelling on a budget, as the villages themselves are pretty pricey! They have cute, little hut-like tents for around 15euros each and free shuttle service to the station for access to all the villages.

We stayed 3 nights, which was the perfect amount of time to explore the villages, sunbath and of course stop for the occasional (or more than occasional in my case) Gelato.

We bought a rail ticket to Rigmaggiore, the furthest of the villages and then decided to hop on and off the local ferry to work our way back, coasting about 15 each but totally worth it. The villages are something you must see from land AND sea!  

finger-lickin' good seafood along the way...

Our favourite village was the 3rd along, perfect for any couple- flat but breezy sunbathing areas for the ladies whilst they watch their men jump into the crystal blue depths from the rugged emerging cliffs within the bay.

The colours of these beautiful villages, their harbouring boats and cabinets of Gelato are any photographers dream.
It's pretty damn gorgeous.
