Cinque Terre and Menaggio, Lake Como: Three dudes unknowingly on a honeymoon

Cinque Terre is a good looking mountainous area on the west coast of Italy.



Cinque Terre Highlights:

  • Pesto Sauce was invented here and played prominent roll in every meal.
  • Tunnels. Cinque Terre, has tunnels everywhere. You would be shocked at how many tunnels there are. With minimal recognizance, I have determined Italians are most proficient at
            1) Speaking enthusiastically with aerobic hand gestures
            2) Tunneling.
  •     Hiking between the towns

I rarely use a comb, but hiking is one time in which I do.


Lowlights:

•    Hiking directly behind a woman, who was once a man, who still looked very much like a man- only with C-cup breast implants.

 Cinque Terre is a well-known honeymoon spot. And if you don't believe me, please know that I was at a wedding in Maine two Sunday's ago, and sure enough, the couple (The lovely Jay & Emily Stewart), who tied the knot were in Cinque Terre on Thursday Night.

Kind of a crazy coincidence, so there’s no better way to celebrate inexplicably random meet ups than to drink an Irish beer in an Italian bar.


Stu, Adam, Malcolm and Jay hangout somewhere other than Boston or Maine.

Similar to Cinque Terre, Lake Como is a quaint mountain town on the water, only this water has George Clooney on it.

11 out of 10 American’s we’ve discussed our Lake Como visit with have asked if we’re going to George Clooney’s house. Our typical response: a swift punch to the throat followed by us singing the (wordless) ER theme song.
