Corniglia was our second town and it was also where we stopped for lunch. A lunch that consisted of fresh seafood – quite possibly the best meal I had in Italy. I’d say it was well deserved after hiking and sweating for 4.5km. We didn’t do much else because after lunch, it was time for our next hike – to Vernazza. With this trail, you get more views of the coast. But with that came a lot of rocky steps that basically went up and down. It wasn’t easy, especially since it was drizzling a little bit on and off – so some of the trails were slippery. Right before we reached Vernazza is also where my friends and I decided to lock our friendship lock. I know…it’s very ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’. But it’s a great alternative to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence!
