Exploring the Italian coastline of the Cinque Terre

we just hoped in our car and drove around to see what we could see

LITTLE TOWN RIGHT NEAR OUR VILLAGE 

VIEW WHILST WE WERE DRIVING 

MONTEROSSO CINQUE TERRE

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING

Leaving Venice and travelling to the Cinque Terre

We hired a car and mum drove from Venice to the Cinque Terre it took us nearly 6 hours and it was really hard because they drive on the other side of the road to us.

This looking out our window from our little house in Venice we were staying with the locals 

Off our verandah

these are the shutters on the inside of the windows

so there is glass then these 

we live on top of the shops

This is our big van mum drove ....

Driving through Milan to get there and we also went through Bolonga there was an earthquake there this morning 

We are staying in Cabins in Northern Italy in a place called Ameglia which is right on the coastline outside the Cinque Terre

Mum thought we needed to stay out of the city and with grass so we could play and have some fun......

they have a flying fox which we love

this is the view from where we are staying the mountains behind are where marble comes from

view from where we are staying

Its really beautiful and relaxing

Off we go in our big van :-)

VENICE ITALY

We had our first full day in Venice we went on a Gondola ride around the canals there is 455 small bridges in Venice and 4 large Bridges.
the city has no cars at all the only way of transport is by water bus, water taxi, boat or Gondola. We also caught the water bus to Murano (where they blow glass ) we watched a man make a vase and a glass horse within a couple of minutes it was really cool) After that we headed back to Venice main land and sat and had a traditional Italian Pizza YUM.........

We spotted a Gondola 

Yes we are going 

This was our driver

It was really cool 

This bridge is called the Scalzi Bridge

anyone want a ride ?
