After a quaint breakfast in the hotel, we drove to La Spezia on the Mediterranean coast to take a boat ride to Cinque Terre. We were on the boat about an hour and a half. The weather was absolutely picture perfect as we stopped at each one of the villages.We got off at the fifth village - Monterosso. The name Cinque Terre is derived from five medieval little villages standing on stony spurs along five miles of rocky coastline.

We only had an hour and a half to eat lunch, shop and get to the train station! A few of us ate at the Fast Bar and I had a delicious tomato, pesto and cheese sandwich and a limon soda!
The train ride took us to Rapallo and we walked for about a half hour to catch our bus back to Lucca. We then had about 2 hours to shop and snack in Lucca behind the Wall! Michael and I had gelato, and went into the beautiful St. Michael's church and shopped and back to our hotel.
Dinner at 8:00 back in our hotel was very good, nice and relaxing - we ate with Mike, Vibby & Kelsey from Orange County, CA and Marc & Kay from Spokane, WA - I asked for a diet coke and I received the cutest coke can ever :) - Tomorrow we end up in Florence!
