Lily arrived at Pisa Airport about 7AM (Italy time) on Monday, June 10. On our way out of Pisa we visited the Torre Pendant (leaning tower) and were able to climb to the top of the tower. On the way back to the Cinque Terre (also known as 5 Terre, CT and Five Lands) we stopped for lunch in Lucca. Upon arriving to our home for the week in Manarola, we immediately went for a swim in the sea to cool down.
On Tuesday we hiked high above the villages of the Cinque Terre, on a footpath that probably dates from Roman times, from Manarola to the next village to the north, Corniglia. The footpath took us through vineyards and gardens and was filled with incredible views.
Today is Wednesday and we are about to take a two-hour boat trip up the coast to Portofino.
