We came around to dessert and we couldnt decide what we wanted. So we ordered caffe corretos and the waiter picked our desserts for us. We told him we wanted two, so he sent out five. Panna cotta, chocolate mousse, frutti di bosco crostata, marble cake and nutella cake. They were all amazing. Every single one of them. Then we had limoncino, which is pretty much the same as lemoncello, except its particular to the north. So delicious. There were lemon trees all over Cinque Terre and it just doesn't get any fresher than that!
After lunch we laid out on the rocks (there isn't much beach) while we waited for Daniel and Evan to meet up with us. Once they arrived in Vernazza we hiked to Corniglia. Little did we know that Vernazza to Corniglia was one of the two harder sections of the hike but it was nice to work off lunch. After about an hour and a half we were SO hot and sweaty from the hike! We were trying to find this private beach I heard about in Corniglia but all we found was a sewer, so we took our shoes off, dipped our feet in the ocean (it was freezing!) and changed out of our gross clothes. We were starving so we took the train to Monarola, which is another of the five towns. This one is more residential but I heard about a restaurant there so we hiked all the way up this hill to find this tiny restaurant tucked away into the mountain side. There were three floors but it was a tiny place, it just had to be three floors because of the way the mountain was shaped an how the building hugged the mountain. They didn't have a table right away so we waited around while the sun set and then finally they took us. We ate inside, opposite a lemon tree. So cool.
