I got up at night to breastfeed and had insomnia. I picked up my phone and heard an old song by Yu Quan, "Goodbye." This is my favorite. When I was in the Cinque Terre in Italy, the mp3 kept playing on a loop, so I heard this song. , couldn’t help but think of that place, warm and romantic.
?I think this is the meaning of travel. Somewhere you have been may be triggered by something in the future, and then like me now, because of a song and hard memories Every scene, every conversation, every reliance, and every promise at that time filled my heart with gratitude, making me forget the busyness and monotony of the moment and become positive and powerful. So I wrote the following belated travel note. That place has become warm, beautiful and charming because of my memories. Written for its beauty.
"Cinque Terre", when we were asked about the destination, we answered like this. He looked confused. It wasn't until he named one of the villages that he understood. Maybe what we expressed was not clear. However, it is said that these five unknown fishing villages were hyped up by Chinese tourists, and then slowly promoted the local tourism industry and attracted more tourists. Even the name Cinque Terre was given by the Chinese, so you Mention Five Village to an Italian, or roughly translate it into Italian Cinque (Five) Terre (Fishing Village), and he is actually baffled. This may be true.
The Cinque Terre is actually five small fishing villages built on the cliffs of the sea in Liguria, Italy, namely Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, and Corniglia. (Corniglia), Manarola (Manarola) and Riomaggiore (Riomaggiore), these five small fishing villages are connected by plank roads and small trains. You can buy a train card, some are for 1 day, and some are for 2 days. You can travel to and from several small fishing villages unlimited times within the time limit. You can also walk on the plank road to experience overlooking the sea on the cliff. However, some plank roads are far away and take a long time to walk.
We took a train from Florence to La Spezia. We met this Italian uncle on the train. He told us that he would take a book with him every time he went on a business trip, but now He is worried that Italians, especially young people, are no longer willing to read books, and he feels that young people, including his own children, are not very religious now.
? La Spezia train station is very small, and oranges are everywhere outside. They are hanging happily on the trees as scenery, and no one would think of them as delicacies. How is that possible? I have this idea, but with the national honor on my shoulders, I forget it. After arriving at La Spezia, buy a ticket and take the small train to the fishing village. The hotel is at the second stop, Vernazza. On the small train, I met the old couple sitting next to me. They were cute, plain and loving. , yearning for it, so I secretly took a few photos. They told us that we were not locals and were here for tourism.
After getting off the train, walking through the tunnel, we arrived in Vernazza. There were not many people in the village, and it was off-season when we went there, so there were even fewer people, so it felt particularly leisurely and comfortable. When you walk to the end of the village, you can see the sea.
It was evening when we arrived, and the sunset was shining on the shore. People gathered in twos and threes to enjoy the sunset, and the boats to watch the sunset had already gone out to sea.
There is a particularly good restaurant on the cliff. It is on a protruding platform from the edge of the cliff. It needs to be lit by candlelight at night to make it more delicious.
People lazily fished and walked their dogs
There was a white clock tower in the distance, and the small rooftop next to it was our hotel. In fact, the local residents packed up their homes and provided supplies for us. The price is very reasonable for travelers. The young couple in the lower right corner are clapping their paws, hee hee hee hee. . .
The room was in the attic. The winding stairs made me dizzy, but it was very cozy. Through the window, I could see the white bell tower, which looked like a painting. Night had fallen.
Take a photo through the window to see distant mountains, dams, clock towers, and waves lapping against the rocks.
Swam and the locals went to watch football. I sat on the deep-sea pier and listened to the seagulls chirping. For a moment, I thought this was Gran Canaria where Sanmao and Jose lived.
The people living next door to us are also Chinese. Two little girls studying in Germany sat on the shore and chatted with them. During the holidays, the two of them traveled to various European countries together. The last stop was In Paris, I finally went to the long-awaited Louvre, but I was very disappointed. The Mona Lisa was small and there were many tourists. I was thinking that it would be a very good choice to have the opportunity to study abroad during my good years and to take the opportunity to see everywhere.
It was only about 7 o'clock, and the small village had already begun to fall asleep. Fortunately, there were still a few restaurants on the shore open, so we walked quietly over.
For pasta, I forgot what flavor it was. The swam one should be seafood. Did you notice the trademark on the bottom of the cup? It’s from IKEA. The quilt in the hotel is also from IKEA.
Before going to bed, I acted as a full-time photographer for the cat outside. The cat was extremely calm, like a gentleman.
The next day, swam and I got up early and planned to take the plank road to the next village, Corniglia. Breakfast is milk bread and eggs. The milk is super thick, the bread is very hard, and the egg yolk is like a little sun, crystal clear.
Perhaps because of the off-season, there were only two of us on the plank road, and the next village could not be seen at a glance.
Looking back, Vernazza is getting further and further away from us.
After walking around for nearly an hour and a half, we arrived at our next destination, Corniglia. Although the scenery was infinitely beautiful, I was still a little tired.
The small village we live in is no longer visible, and the village ahead gradually appears. If you feel the distance is far away, you can take a small train there.
But that’s what travel is, the scenery along the way is the most beautiful.
The small shops in the small village are very cute, but Swam was still attracted by the train track by the sea and ran down it.
There are so many steps that if you go down, you won’t want to go up again.
?We are waiting for the small train. The track seems to be built on the sea. The most common people on the platform are still the grandparents, thinking about our future.
One person, one child and one dog. This stop is Riomaggiore, the last village on the list. Walking through this tunnel, you can reach the seaside, which is said to be one of the best photography spots in Cinque Terre. Out of the tunnel, the little blue sailboat is particularly cute.
Look at the row of photographers, what beautiful scenery are they taking?
? Dang dang dang. . . (Comes with background music) I didn’t take good pictures, but I was very satisfied with the picture of a seagull spreading its wings.
In this photo pose, you can see that she is a sunny and enthusiastic girl.
It’s so cool to sleep under the beautiful scenery
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming. . .
The old man was taking pictures very seriously, posing back and forth, trying to find the best position.
After grandpa left, I didn’t waste any effort to find the best location chosen by grandpa. Let’s take one too. The distant mountains are where we live.
I was sitting on the platform and resting. When I saw three beauties in front of me, Swam said to me, I bet they are Americans. Their legs are so thick, they must have eaten hamburgers.
But I didn’t confirm it in the end because I didn’t know how to ask, are you from America? Then what? But I don’t want to eat burgers anymore. I don’t want my legs to be so thick.
?The small shops in the village are very unique, and people gather together to drink coffee leisurely.
Swam and I also joined in and ordered two cups of coffee. We haven’t had coffee for a long time and it smelled very good when we saw the pictures.
Originally we planned to take the very famous plank road from Riomaggiore to Manarola - the Road of Love, but unfortunately the Road of Love was closed due to renovations, so we could only watch helplessly.
Take a small train to reach the first village, Monterosso al Mare. It is the only place with a beach in the five villages. The water is clear and the beach is very good. It is said that there are so many people in the summer that there will be no room. Unfortunately, it was too cold when we went and the beach was empty. But in fact, this is what we wanted. Wanted.
Both of us like the sea, and when we see it, we feel open-minded. This way, no matter how casually he throws his smelly socks around, I won’t argue with him. The sea is healing and can turn you from a small citizen to a poet.
The lovely Lemmon Tree next to the beach immediately reminded me of this song, so I quickly remembered it.
There was a stone man carrying a big stone on his back by the sea. It was a mythical story, but I can’t remember it now, Prometheus? Hergrit?
Seeing the sea always reminds people of poetry and distance. Seagulls carry my dreams. Dreaming and waking up are actually life.
Only after taking the photo did I realize it was a trash can
The most famous place in the Cinque Terre Village in Manarola is also the most beautiful. I have often seen it on the Internet before, and I was able to see its true appearance. , still beautiful, so I took a few more pictures, they are almost the same, but I always feel that I need to take more pictures to make the trip worthwhile. As a result, when I sorted the photos, they were all filled with this picture. I looked a little tired, and the more I looked at it, the more unreal it became. .
Another uncle who loves reading, it is really a wonderful experience, I can only experience it by reading the e-book.
The waves crashing on the shore
A good place to fall in love and travel together to see it.
The best photographer, you can’t go wrong by following him.
Why do I always want to call it a dove and give it to my future self? Do you want to send this letter to me?
The five villages are all over. It's enough to walk slowly, think slowly, and stroll around for a day, but it will definitely be more comfortable to live here for a while. But when this slow-paced life really comes, we may not be able to bear it. It can be said that we are destined to run around, but I prefer to say that it is because we are still young and still have energy.
?Cinque Terre is not the most beautiful, but it is romantic, peaceful, lovely, comfortable and intoxicating. Sometimes what we need is not the beautiful scenery but the state of mind. I believe that "if you love, you will be lovely everywhere."
