Cinque Terre con bambine = Pazzi

Italy with young kids is not without its challenges. I can’t tell you how many times a day I hear “are we there yet?”  or “will you carry me?” or various other complaints relevant to a five year old.

We attempted the Cinque Terre today which are five “remote” fishing villages on the mediterranean coast.  They are a strange contrast of old-authentic towns and yet the most over-run with tourists we’ve seen.

We only made it to two of the five (cinque) towns. It was just a logistical nightmare with kids.  It’s a beautiful area that if I had to do again I’d see by boat. David and I will look forward to returning in 16 years.
