CINQUE TERRE; RIOMAGGORIE: Blue skies and crystal clear water, huge incredible ice-cream sundaes, my first pesto pizza in such a very long time, peach vodka and strawberries on the balcony, view to die for from our room, reading in bed as it rained outside, the Cinque Terre omelet, jumping off the cliffs, swimming in the rain, never wanting to leave, being able to relax properly for the first time on our trip.
