In June I finally made it to Europe. For our Honeymoon we went to Venice, Cinque Terre and Rome. I loved all three. However, I think I’d only go back to Rome and Cinque Terre. I liked Venice, but felt that the two nights I had there was the perfect amount. Whereas I could walk around Rome forever.

Then there is Cinque Terre. I haven’t been to a ton of places (almost every state in the continental US, but only Canada and Mexico after that), but it was by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. It’s 5 small towns on a rugged part of the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. We stayed in Riomaggiore through A Casa Terre.

I think Riomaggiore was our favorite town. It wasn’t the biggest or the smallest. So it had a good amount of restaurants and things to do.

Also, I’ve never been a huge nature guy. I like to take a shower at the end of the day and sleep in a nice bed. So Cinque Terre was perfect. You could go hiking all day, or sit with your feet in the water and then hike back to your town or just hop on a train that connects the 5 towns.

And the best part was to come back to our apartment, shower, and then get some food. The region is known for their pesto, white wine, olive oil and focaccia. I was in heaven.

Now were to go next?
