welcome to another travel vlog from my semester abroad in italy my name is sarah if you're new
here i'm going to the cinque terre today i've been living so close to this general area for the past
two and a half months and i haven't actually been there yet so i decided it's about time
that i go there and now is ideal because there are fewer tourists the weather isn't too hot
it's just how i like it so i hope that you enjoy this video and let's get into it
[music]
starting my time in the cinque terre in the first of the five villages of
the cinque terre that you would come across if you're coming from genoa
so i'm currently in Monterosso let's have a little explore [music]
i've never had to pay to go walking on a
public footpath in a national park before but um yeah just did that cool [music]
oh my gosh there's so many steps because i'm currently on some steps between vineyards
and oh my gosh it's quite heavy going i didn't realize how unfit i apparently am
[music]
there are so many tourists from germany switzerland and italy on this walk so in
theory i should be getting a lot of practice at least um passively with my two languages
oh it's so beautiful just seeing it gradually emerging the next village
Vernazza [music]
so i've just finished my first ever mini solo hike and i think that causes for a gelato
[music]
ahh such an amazing view look at that guys
i'm now on my way from Vernazza to Corniglia and according to
google maps it's meant to take less time than it did to get from Monterosso to
venata but um i'm quite tired so we'll see about that [music]
i can see really far in the distance some colored houses and i think that
might already be Corniglia but it's hard to tell from here for sure
i'd say this path is definitely less busy than the other one i still don't feel completely
alone but right now i can't see anyone else i can't hear anyone else but like
every few minutes i still encounter people so i quite like that also because there are fewer
people on this path when you do meet people they tend to be more friendly like i've said ciao or
salve or buongiorno to pretty much everyone who i've met on this path it's nice you know [music]
can i see two villages
to think i've come all that way by foot i'm pretty proud of myself not gonna lie
i mean it doesn't look very far away but
i'd say it is here is another bellavista bit more close up this time where? there!
here's the third village not sure how well you can see that because the sun is right in my eyes but
it's there
ciao
ciaoooooo
i'm just on the way to the station of Corniglia because i really want to go to Manarola but it
doesn't look like there's a very direct way of walking there even though i can see it from here
because it's like on quite rugged coastline it's impossible to get there in a straight
line so yeah i think i'm gonna have to um cough up and pay for a train ticket [train noises]
right so Manarola is said by many to be the most beautiful village in the world which i'm
certainly not surprised about so i'm gonna have a little explore first and show you guys what i see
[music]
if you've been to the cinque terre i would love to know which your favorite village was i would
definitely say that my favorite village is this one Manarola i would definitely recommend cinque
terre if you do want to like go trekking by yourself it's not too busy and it's obviously
ideal for this kind of time when you're not meant to be with loads of people i mean it's probably
not like that in the summer i'm here in october so it's probably a completely different story
in the summer i feel like because cinque terre is obviously really famous like portofino is
but because portofino is so small like it's literally one town as opposed to live and a
few others in between there's sort of the same amount of tourists but in a much smaller space
so that's why i definitely prefer cinque terre to portofino if you haven't seen my portofino
vlog already then i'll link up here obviously it would be nice if i had spent a bit more time
in each village just wanted to see as much as possible in the limited amount of time i
do have left this has been a really lovely end to my time in liguria thanks so much for watching if
you've made it this far and you're not subscribed already i would absolutely love it if you did
hit that button down below and if you liked it as well that would really help me out ciao
