This post continues daughter L's recent trip to Italy from the previous days' posts.
The girls took an inexpensive tour which included a visit to the town of Pisa with the leaning tower one day. L did not enjoy that crowded tour with 62 people stuffed into a bus. They were shuttled from place to place with maybe an hour per stop and were exhausted.
Next they took a long day trip tour to Cinque Terre. It is pronounced 'chink-weh ter-reh' who knew?
Here is a link which shows how it is pronounced. It is a string of 5 seaside towns. Although it was beautiful and included a delicious seafood meal, it was terribly crowded with tourists and they didn't enjoy that part. L says they sat on a beach chair and a man approached them demanding 16 euros so they got up and were content to just dip their feet into the water for a bit.

The food looks good. That seems like an exorbitant price for a beach chair! Have a good week, hugs, Valerie
I would like to see the tower myself one day
Your daughter has a good time in the beautiful Italy ,I love Italy as well - but for me since hubby is retired it is a much too expensive country to visit.
Love your "peek through" painting for PPF!
Happy start into the new week!

Happy week

I haven't been to Italy for many years. We have difficulty booking as it's so popular. Hence we go to Spain and Portugal and their islands.
Sounds like that part of the trip didn't go all too well. One downside of going on tours to popular destinations is that there will usually be a crowd. Sometimes it's not so bad, and sometimes it couldn't be worse.
The food looks good. Too bad about the crowds.
I was the traveling to Italy last year. It was such a great trip. They have a delicious food. Thanks for sharing:)
