Italy Recap Our day in Cinque Terre 💙 We stayed in Riomaggiore but started our morning in Monterosso, the one with the giant statue guy on the beach. It’s called Il Gigante, and you really can’t miss him. It was cold and a little rainy, but I refused to wear pants. I was in my grandma pantyhose era and had zero regrets. Emy had hers on too, and Bill legit thought something was wrong with her skin because they were kind of baggy and nude-colored 😂 We explored, took pics by Il Gigante, did a little shopping, and then trained to Manarola for a chill day. We stopped at Poche Musse Gelateria, the cutest Italian ice place with lemon-themed decor, and the guys grabbed a paper cone of calamari and shrimp that was so good. We tried to walk up to the scenic viewpoint. We made it about halfway, got some really pretty views, but didn’t go all the way to the top since it started raining. In the afternoon, we had wine, bruschetta, and a charcuterie board at Bar e Vini a Pié de Mä, this pretty little spot on a cliff near the Riomaggiore train station with the best ocean views. I’m not even a tomato girl, but I actually liked the bruschetta. We ended the night on our terrace with wine, snacks, and that amazing view. One of the most relaxing days before heading back to Rome 🍷🌊🍋 CinqueTerre ItalyTravel Riomaggiore TravelWithKids Manarola IlGigante TravelItaly CinqueTerreViews CoastalItaly LaDolceVita FamilyTravel SeasideEscape EuropeanSummer WanderlustItaly VacationRecap
