Location

Vernazza, Italy


 
We travelled from Rome to Cinque Terra and stayed in a tiny village on the north western coast of Italy. The name of the area literally means 5 lands, 5 little villages hugging the cliffs on the mediterrenean. It was beautiful and we were tired, so we spent most of the day sitting by the water, eating gelati, reading. We arrived in the evening and were told that the tourist info would be able to to help us find a place so we went straight there and asked about accommodation.´
`No´ was the reply.
No what? No accommodation available, no, you can´t help us, no, you don´t understand our question?
Is nothing available?
Well, I don´t know, I´ll have to call someone.
She called, found a bed and breakfast that was way about our price range. We told her thank you very much but we´ll stroll the streets looking for a place with 'camere' written by the door.
It was a great idea, adventurous, interacting with the culture. The only problem was that the only person who answered there door was a lady who said, 'No room.'
We decided that I (Jodi) would sit in the square, enjoying the view and watching the people go by (and our stuff) while Tim walked around the steep village knocking on doors. He came back, not too long later, with a very confident, 'I have been successful' walk and announced that he had found something - a single room, he would sleep on the floor. It was also way above our price range, but we weren´t to know that this was the going rate in Cinque Terra. If anyone´s thinking of going to Italy, go to Croatia!

Stayed one night, missed the last train to Milan so stayed in Genoa a night and caught the early morning train to Milan the next day, bus to airport, plane to Madrid, metro to bus station, bus to Leon and a short walk to our hostel. phew!
