Time Out

We were feeling a little exhausted of sight-seeing and in need of a break so decided to chill out a bit in the Cinque Terre. We really enjoyed the natural beauty of the area and spent quite a bit of time soaking up the sun on the beach. We also spent a day walking the Cinque Terre walk (between the 5 villages) although piked on the last leg and had a swim at the beach instead!

Making our way towards Spain proved a little trickier than we had anticipated with the train system, so we ended up changing our plans slightly - stopping in Nice for a night (South France) and then a night in Avignon. After a month of pasta, pizza, and panini we were quite excited by the wider (and fresher) variety of food available in France.

With these days of 'time out' and travel we now feel refreshed and excited to be exploring Barcelona!
