Cinque Terre by Boat

Cinque Terre by boat is a wonderful way to enjoy one of the world's most beautiful coastlines. The Liguria coast, the Italian Riviera, travel from Monterrosso or Levanto in the North to Portovenere at the Southern point and entrance to the Gulf of Poets (i gulfo di poeti) to treat yourself to a relaxing and gorgeous time.

The boat ride is about 20 euros and you may hop off at any or all of the five (Cinque) little towns (terre) during your day journey. Do leave some time to get all the way down to Portovenere to see what is a spectacular entrance between rock cliffs, ancient forts, and even Lord Byron's cove, into the port of Portovenere.

The colors in the water, from midnight blue to torquoise, the colors on the mountains, and the pine tress sprouting out of the rocky cliffs all the way into the ocean is a magical scene only to be experienced when traveling in Italy to the Liguria Coast.

Christmas in Florence, one to remember

During the Christmas season in Florence there is an eruption of lights, colors, culture, and the always present Italian hospitality.  Throughout the city, lights are strewn up and down avenues illuminating the beautiful architecture of Florence.  Under the cover of darkness, the parade of lights that interconnect the Piazza della Signoria and Piazza del Duomo is a sight that will forever be imprinted in your mind.  The Christmas fair in front of the Church of Santa Croce lets the mind, soul, and stomach indulge in all that Florence has to offer; with a little help from its european neighbors.  Florence celebrates the birth of Christ in a way that exemplifies its status as The City of Enlightenment.
