unedited photos from the cinque terre

I have been thinking so much of this trip I took all by myself 2 years ago because the book I picked up in London and am currently reading happens to take place in the area. 

I did a post on my last blog about Cinque Terre but all the photos were highly over-edited and meticulously chosen. I hate to imagine so many travel memories getting lost because I was too picky with what I wanted to share publicly. I love seeing the nitty, gritty and un-edited photos on travel blogs from time to time to get a TRUE sense of what a place is like. After scrolling thru my album of Nikon photos from the Cinque Terre, I decided to post the following ones here. 

As soon as I became a flight attendant, I already knew exactly where I wanted to take my first trip after getting my flight benefits. I found out about the Cinque Terre from Rick Steves a while back and was drawn to the uniqueness of the place. It was unlike anything I had ever heard of. 5 little car-free cities along the rugged Italian coast. This place is MAGICAL and I highly recommend visiting.
