Riomaggiore Italy


What can I say about the Cinque Terre.. little mulit-coloured houses, delicious food,  alleyways filled with sky high close-lines and kitty cats and lots of italian men in tight budgie-smugglers.  I just didn't know where to look.
I wish we could have stayed there longer, actually I think when I get old I'm going to move there, find a cute little house, a cute cat and a cute Italian man.
quintessential breton stripe shirt: vintage,  sandals: bought when I was 16, (laptop) bag: embarrassing office supply shop

    Oh Mandy this is amazing!! You look gorgeous, and Vernazza looks perfect as always.

    To be honest, it also crushed my longing heart a little. The Cinque Terre is my absolute favourite place in the world...

    Hope you had an amazing trip! And hope to see you again soon. Ciao bella! Xxxxx

    Thanks for posting such beautiful photos of an amazing spot in the world! I have fond memories of backpacking there in my mid 20s, hopping off a train, finding a room (via word of mouth at Bar Centrale!), eating and drinking on our balcony overlooking the fishing boats and floating around in crysal clear waters. Your photos show that it hasn't changed too much! Enjoy!
