Last Thursday Killian and I celebrated our first year together. Time flies! We took the weekend to have a little getaway at his family's property in Arklow.

We were running out of daylight. So instead of hiking to Manarola, we took the train from Corniglia. And since we'd spent most of our time hiking, we decided to explore this town more. It was a pretty wonderful adventure. And during our exploration, we found a trail of blood. Leading to a guy who had somehow lost his finger. Talk about excitement! After all of the climbing of stairs and hills we headed back to Riomaggiore for dinner.

After Monterosso we arrived in Vernazza. Definitely my tied for my favorite town in Cinque Terre.

We started off in the morning with a full English breakfast at the hostel, then headed over to the Causeway. It was beautiful, and really neat to witness such a rare natural occurrence.

Our first day trip by ourselves was the Bray to Greystones cliffwalk. I went with Emily, and my roommates Sara and Lewis. We took the train down to Bray along the coast. We were amazed by how beautiful the view was coming in. It was only a short walk through the town to the start of the cliff walk.
