So the weekend after Croatia was Rome and Cinque Terre. Unfortunately, a bunch of people like going to Rome for Easter, which meant that it was really, really crowded, but as that was my only opportunity to go to Italy, I figured it had to be endured. We saw a lot in Rome, a bunch of which I can't even remember anymore - the big things, though, were the Pantheon, Colosseum, the ancient Roman Forum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica.
Also had a BUNCH of gelato, some decent pizza, and some decent pasta.
On Sunday, we stopped by Cinque Terre for the day. Here's a map that may help.
We took a train to Monterosso, hiked through the mountains to Vernazza, took a train to Corniglia, but had to go back before we got to see Manarolo or Riomaggiore. The northern two cities are on the beach, while Corniglia is 382 steps above the ground, and the last two are somewhere in between. Here are a couple photographs:
Okay, so this basically leaves me with Queen's Day in Amsterdam and Versailles, so hopefully those are coming soon.
