    Watching this makes me think you two might love a pilgrimage to Medjugorje in Herzegovina.
    Thank you for this. I have yet to get to Amalfi but I will. Your videos really give a real life feel of what it’s like and brings back the feelings of being in Italy. Thank you ☺️

    Enjoy your videos, guys! CT is a great place that is definitely deserving of a little more time... I hope you guys can make it back some day. One of the highlights of the area is hiking between the towns, which obviously isn't possible for day trippers. These relatively short hikes between the towns are spectacular and really help immerse you in all the area has to offer, and helps you feel a bit less like a tourist jumping trains and poking your head into town for a few minutes before moving on. I know that's not always possible for different reasons, but here's to hoping you get back someday with a bit more time - we visited in 2011 and it is truly a special place. Happy travels and keep the videos coming! Cheers!

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад +1

      We really do hope to get back and stay at least a few days. If nothing else, we hope the video gets across the idea to not do what we did and try to make a day of it. Stay and enjoy, it's not a day trip. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

    I remember those stairs in Corniglia very well lol! 😂
    My husband and I went to all 5 towns as a day trip from Florence 5 years ago. We took mainly trains and the ferry once. We ended the day in Monterosso and took a dip in the refreshing water. It was mid June, not so crowded, but already hot. It was an amazing day trip but I wish we had allowed 2 days at least to enjoy the towns more and maybe do one of the hikes.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад

      We would agree. Spending a couple of days would be ideal. It wasn't the most relaxing day by any means! 😂

    I stayed in Vernazza for 5 nights back in 2011, and it was nice to be able to see the towns in a relaxed way. We rented a small boat in the harbor of Vernazza and took that to a couple towns. If I recall, Corniglia is upland and we hiked the trail to make sure we saw all cinque (five) of the places. I also think it was Monterosso that had horrible horrible floods about 8-10 years ago, if I'm remembering correctly.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад +1

      I remember watching that flood on the news years ago! Next time we go we will get a boat, hike, and stay for a few days. Thank you for all the continued support, Mike.
      Cheers!!🍻

  • @robertmcfarlane4151
    @robertmcfarlane4151 Год назад

    Hey guys! This is a bucket place for me to go. Like Florence. Italy has just so many places to see and explore. I like the fact that you are confident enough to even show the mistakes that you experience. Being on the wrong train happens. You deal with in an easy manner, and roll with the punches. I think that five cities for one day is an aggressive day. I would like to think you get some drink and beach time on a hot August day! That stairwell walk down was spectacular!! Such views! The look of the two of you at 15:50 mark just says "tired, hot, sweaty, ready for a beer!!"

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад

      Thank you, Robert. It was a long day but well worth the experience!

  • @Danielle-ic7pv
    @Danielle-ic7pv Год назад +1

    Again great video, tks!
    We were there for 2 days last November, the weather was gorgeous and not too many tourists, which was great! Also, I agree that a boat tour is amazing, which is what we did. However consider asking a fisherman how much he would charge you to see the « cinque terre » from the sea instead of a group tour. This is what we did (from Vernazza) it was well worth it and less expensive. Also you can personalized your boat ride as you wish.
    Ciao!

    • @BrianandCarrie

    Wonderful and very hot looking video. We loved Cinque Terre staying there for almost a week ... and, we could have happily stayed longer. The hike between the five villages is absolutely brilliant. I do so feel sorry for the villages when the crowds descend en mass from the cruise ships madly looking for any cheap trinket to take home ... there must be a better way. Happy and safe travels!

    • @BrianandCarrie

    Bella CT video. I would have loved seeing you swim & relax in one of those gorgeous beaches but you were on a limited time. Yet you captured enough to wet our whistles. I camped in 1988 with friends in a Westphalia van in CT. Spent a week. You brought me back to that beautiful time. Did you drink their famous drink there. Grappa. A Killer. Wow! Mille grazie for the video guys, bravo!

    • @BrianandCarrie

    OK. You helped me fall in love with this place just from watching your video! In all my travels, I don't recall having visited Cinque Terra. I would've remembered such a LOVELY place! I especially love those narrow alley ways with shops on either side. I can see that this is a popular tourist place, but it looks like a cozy place to live, too. Thank you for this fabulous video!

    • @BrianandCarrie

    Hi BnC- Brings back memories of our trip to CT. Currently we are on a 3 wk trip. Finished a week each in London and Brussels and headed to Paris on Monday. Brussels was great and we used it as a base for day trips. Brugge was awesome and prettier than Venice. Ghent was good and had a very Medieval feel. Went to Antwerp today and it was great too.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад

    What model of camera are you using for your videos?

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад +1

      We have downgraded our gear from when we started over two years ago. We found using an expensive camera with a gimbal was difficult to travel with full time. We sold our Sony a6400 and now use GoPro 11's for most of our videos. We do use a Canon m50 when we shoot indoor videos because we believe that the audio is better. Thank you for watching!!

  • @rubbertoad3681

    We did the 5 towns in one day In November. It wasn't too busy and wasn't too hot. We started in La Spezia and went north. I thought each town got better as you went north, except for the last one Monterosso. We liked it the least. Glad we did it, but I think once is enough.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад

      We would agree, that once is enough. If you decide to stay for a couple of nights it would be ideal. Thank you for watching!!

  • @TheSwimmom1
    @TheSwimmom1 Год назад

    We were in the Cinque Terre just a couple of weeks ago and I wouldn't reccomend taking the ferry boats. They were standing room only, packed in like sardines and we had to wait for almost 45 min in the blazing sun to push on to another to leave Vernazza. The crowds were unbelivable and there was no proper lineups for the ferrys. Yes the views were beautiful but not worth the crush of the crowds. The fact that you got a seat on the trains was fantastic. We found that the crowds were less crazy in Portafino than the CT.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад

      Very good to know, thank you for sharing. We did see paid tours prior to coming that took you by boat, those we felt may be the best option. Cheers 🍻

  • @TexasDoug393
    @TexasDoug393 Год назад

    I guess it could have been the non-stop to Vladivostok, so could have been worse. 😀 Beautiful area, and I think checking it out from the boat side would be very cool as recommended.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Год назад +1

      Oh goodness, that would have been worse! Such a wonderful day, even with a little mishap. Cheers 🍻

  • @cookmaster3626
    @cookmaster3626 Год назад

    Just an important advice for folks planning to travel to CT. You will have to deal with steep slopes practically most walkable paths. Carrying a suit case up the slope and steps wont be fun. We went in late October of 2021, and lucked out with pretty decent weather.

    • @BrianandCarrie

    Re-watching “The Truth about Full Time World Travel - Top Questions” from last year and wondering if anything has changed since you published it. Healthcare options, cell phone plan, banking and accessing money overseas, short/mid-term plans. Maybe things you would have done differently, traveling with geo-political uncertainty, economic challenges. Would be great to see in a future video.
    Until then, we are a couple from Bellevue living vicariously through your videos and dreaming to pull the trigger some day very soon!

    Thank you for the interesting videos! I'm new to your channel and watched your Italian playlist and some videos on travel tips but didn't find enough information on using public transportation between the Italian cities. Would be really interested to get some details about options that you used ( train, bus) and how to purchase tickets for those options (maybe you have website links that could be posted in the info box) And things like you' ve mentioned to watch for the right type of train😊 Another question - are train platforms that you saw usually in line (on the same level) with the train itself or additional steps are required?
