We woke up pretty late and had a typical breakfast of pan com tomate made from ingredients we got at the grocery store. We decided to head out for a trail we were told was a good hike, between the city we were in, Monterosso, and Levanto. The hike ended up taking about 2 1/2 hours , but the whole thing was very pretty. We didn't think it was going to be as steep as it was though, but we were prepared from Pilatus :).
One thing that we realized on this trip is that bread and cheese is a very common food here , and we had had it for almost every meal. This made our stomachs feel pretty weird, so once we got to the Levanto we decided we wanted to try to find some healthier food. We ended up finding a restaurant that serves salad , and it turned out to be very good. It had tuna and olives and tomatoes.
We headed back to Monterosso on a train, and walked around for a little while longer. Then we went back to the apartment and relaxed in the outdoor patio under a grape vine. We read and played guitar for a while, just enjoying the weather and the beautiful buildings. Finally we decided to go out again, and we walked down to the ocean and relax some more. It's hard not to relax here. The smell of the ocean must do something to your brain.
We decided one healthy meal was enough for the day, and were in the mood for some pizza. So we went to a place that Diego recommended and had some really good, and relatively cheap, pizza, as well as a calzone.
We finally came back to the apartment and relaxed a little more, and went to bed around 10:30. The hike must've really taken it out of us because we were both ready to sleep!
