Bonjourno! Adiomo!
Long train ride from Luzern to La Spezia, Italy. About 8 hours. Beautiful train ride thru the alps! We arrived at our hostel tired and worn out...why is that after siting for so long?!!!
Anyway our hostel was about a 20 minute taxi ride from the city up in the lush hills of La Spezia. We were the only guests in this neighborhood-hostel-bar-restaurant. haha. We arrived and were like, this is it...in the middle of a residential area? But its nice and quaint, we have our own patio with those cool window-door-shutter things. Riviera-esque. I havent seen the movie but the horror film "Hostel" crossed my mind as I walked down the darkened hallway to use the bathroom. ahhh. We walked to a pizzeria for dinner and had great italian food! Going there again tonight I think. :)
Today we ventured to Porto Venere on the coast just south of Cinque Terra. We plan on exploring the 5 villages tomorrow. The tall, skinny, colorful apartments with clothes lines outside lined the coastline of this small fishing village. Very picturesque. On the tip of Porto Venere are the ruins of an old church/castle place.
Here is a link for where we are: http://www.prenotazioni-online.info/immagini-italia/Liguria/porto-venere-la-spezia.jpg and Cinque Terra:

We will make our way to Napoli on the 21st. We made our reservations for the ferry boat barge from Bari, Italy to Patras, Greece leaving on the 24th. Its an overnight ferry.
OKAY I go now and have gelatto again for the second time today. :)
Much love.
