re: Favorite places in the world??

Yeah we bought the CInque Terre pass that is good for 3 days and went to all the villages more than once. We also hiked between each village all the way from Riomaggiore to Monterroso over the course of 4 days. We made sure we wouldn't have to rush and had enough time to not have a set plan. We started the day in 1 village and just did whatever, whenever. I think that is critical to really enjoy this beautiful place.
