On the Road From Manarola to Corniglio - Cinque Terre, Italy - Updates From the Babymoon

in travel •  7 years ago 

20180213_132031~2.jpg

Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter their project on the sheet. I'm still in the review process and trying to juggle work, babymoon and steemit.

I figure that today would be a good day to share me and my wife babymoon photos.

What's a babymoon?

A babymoon is the last vacation taken together as a couple before the first baby arrives. It's a really well thought out marketing trap that we fell into and we quite enjoy it. 😊

What we did so far...

Rome - Photos to come...

We started in Rome where we enjoyed the roman ruins and the Vatican. We made a huge mistake to visit on Sunday where all the Vatican museum were closed 😞

But we enjoyed St Peter's Basilica with a Latin mass and a panini on the rooftop.

Cinque Terre - Riomaggiore

We just came back from a 3 hour hike between Manarola and Corniglio...the two towns after where we are staying: Riomaggiore. The region is quite famous for it's wine and incredible medieval towns by the ocean.

Conclusion

More photos and updates to come. In the meanwhile...

Steem on!

I didn’t know you were traveling !! How was Rome ? I was thinking of taking the tour of Europe when my husband comes to the US.

I love traveling , I’ve always wanted to travel to different parts of the world ( maybe when the price of Steem goes up) :D

Rome is in Italy, my country XD, and I suggest you to visit it, because it is one of the ancientest city in the world...

You have to go...Rome was out of this world beautiful and if you like hiking go to Cinque Terre.

oh man, the colorful houses built into the cliffside are so epic. Also that little but intensely detailed coastline behind you in the first shot, so good. Congrats on the upcoming baby, and good idea for the babymoon, live it up while you still can! lol

Gentlebot! Awesome! Now if only I can figure out exactly what about that comment was liked by the bots algorithm...

Loading...

Hehe marketing traps!!! We all fall for that at some point!! Beautiful place though....would love to see more pics from your vacation!!

Oh and btw, is steemauto working alright these days? I have set you to an upvote without any wait time....but for your last few posts I see my upvote hasn't been given and I have to manually upvote the post.

Steemauto has been working great for me lately, and I've heard that it has worked fine for other people as well. Maybe you have an issue with your bandwidth or something?

Might be, but unlikely. If it was a bandwidth issue, commenting and manually upvoting would have been hampered as well.

Yeah, that's a good point. I have no idea what it is then, sorry! I hope you are able to figure it out though, because problems with autovoting can be really annoying.

Yeah IKR!! I guess it's just something the steemauto devs need to work on and we gotta wait till the bugs gets fixed lol!!

Yep, that's true. Just wait and hope for the best ;)

great dear! you made a huge mistake to visit on Sunday where all the Vatican museum were closed! next time you will visit! cheer friend your wife and you both looks so happier may you always bless! lovely place i wish I could see beautiful nature!

With the insane amount of growth on the steem blockchain, there are a few hiccups here and there I think :-) Check these stats: https://iworldpark.github.io/steemit/stat/post/

Yeah I guess so hehe!! The growth has been going bananas the last couple months!!

@cryptoctopus

I learn for the first time today the term "babymoon" and its meaning. Wow! I love that. These pictures are amazing and you guys really had an amazing time together. The baby will come cute and fine and both of you will be cool too.

Awesome images. I hope you will share the pics of your "familymoon" the moment the baby arrives finally!

Looks like an awesome time. My wife and I took a few staycations, but never went on a babymoon. I tried to talk her into going on one with our second on the way, but to no success. Maybe if we have a third kid I can use this post to convince her to go on one before the third one arrives.

@cryptoctopus,
What a great journey! Actually i didn't heard about BabyMoon before! I had that Moon once too :D But today I heard it's name :D
This is amazing photography! Never seen a town like this before! It's at the cliff side of the Ocean! Fantastic scenery and this is absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us!

Cheers~

Babymoon... I really need to think about doing this with my wife.
Looks like a great way to blow off some of the pregnancy stress...

Excellent photos, my friend and it's very good that you poison yourself in this wonderful walk, where you can see these beautiful places in Italy all together with your family. Italy has always been famous for its sights and your photos are evidence of this! Thank you @cryptoctopus

From the photos I can conclude that you had a good time, earliar I am not familiar about the term babymoon, nice to hear that . Good luck, have a great day and take care of your family.

Rome is awesome, on every corner of every street in the center you find the most amazing statues!

Have a great holiday!

Looks like you two had a well planned vacation. Sorry about the museums being closed, but it still sounds fun.

I've always wanted to go to Cinque Terra. Looks awesome! Glad you were able to get a nice trip before the big addition!

great place for photos man!

A babymoon is the last vacation taken together as a couple before the first baby arrives.

Is it like a tradition or something? And lovely clicks!

Ah, finally I saw who is @cryptoctopus.
Thanks for sharing your pic :)

@cryptoctopus - Oh Sir, a stunning collection of photography... Different color houses & built top of the mountain & headed to the ocean... It's truly a bless to visit that beautiful place Sir... A best place to have a BabyMoon... God bless you two Sir & wish all best for future success too Sir...

+W+


a collection of outstanding photography is about to come soon & i'm naming this photography as 'path to freedom'. it's quite beautiful & stunning. impressive travel details you shared today. @cryptoctopus

@resteemia

Hi @cryptoctopus, oh wow... that's awesome to enjoy the babymoon... I never knew such word exist aside from honeymoon. Both you and your wife looked so vibrant and refreshing. I am so happy to see that. That view with the antique colorful houses. And that scenery of sea just breathtaking. Wishing you the best babymoon ever... and of course more updates please.

Haha, those marketing traps;)
The more I looked at the second photo, the more I kept wondering how tall those colorful houses actually are. I mean, the part of them that I can see looks really tall, but what if they're even taller downwards. I'm almost certain that I would get vertigo if I was standing next to them. Btw, I look forward to the pictures from Rome.

enjoy the holiday. I Can ensuRe you things Will change a lot.. most of the time only Good...but sometimes you wished 2 days of holiday without kids😉

Ihave never heard of this babymoon you speak of and thought you made it up! Upon googling i found out about it.. thats some great marketing.

We dont have kids yet but when we do this is a solid argument to do some travel!

We are going to Italy in August, cant wait!!

babymoon?
what is it sir?
I just heard now about babymoon.
give me your explanation.
I do not know
baby moon.
Thank you sir

According to The Telegraph 'babymoons are your last gasp at coupledom, a small romantic interlude, the final hurrah before the baby arrives'.

So basically its your last chance to have a romantic holiday for the next 20 years (providing you only have 1 child.....). I would definitely sign up and make the most of this oppurtunity 😂😂.

Cinque Terre is very beautiful place. Babymoon i think originated from honeymoon, in which both parents take to relax and spend quality time together before the baby is born. Enjoy the babymoon.

Great shots! I never thought about a babymoon before but I think it's a good idea! I'll be waiting for more photos and updates from you. Thanks for sharing.

Great photos. Marketing traps is something that can not be avoid, but this place is just amazing. Enjoy this days, because it will become more hectic:). Anyway your life is about to change in big way. Embrace it.

A babymoon is the last vacation taken together as a couple before the first baby arrives. It's a really well thought out marketing trap that we fell into and we quite enjoyed it.

Congratulations @cryptoctopus cant wait to see your beautiful baby. My steemit regards to your wonderful wife!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us @cryptoctopus.

I guess the learning to code is on the back burner for now. LOL

I love Italy...it is on my Bucket List. At some point I intend to get there. Such beauty and culture.

I have missed your posts the last few days...they became a staple of my daily activity on here.

I look forward to the other pics you have to post....

Safe journeys.

thats great to see you on this journey and nice to know that you call it babymoon , hope your next life with your baby will be great and fill with happines and joys
i also love hiking and more it was more good if you record some video on your hiking @cryptoctopus ..really a brilliant selfie you both look smart and happy
ok enjoy your couple life before your first baby and i want to see a pretty daughter

Italy has indeed beautiful places. I went there on 2013 and visited the coliseum and of course the Vatican, both are spectacular places.

Besides, walking around Rome is like walking in a museum, the style of their streets still have that touch.

I also remember seeing in there a Ferrari and Lamborghini in person for the first time in my life! And the restaurants were also incredible.

Nice city for sure, no wonder why it’s always full of tourists.

It's a really well thought out marketing trap that we fell into and we quite enjoy it.

Ingenious. lol.

Keep us posted and have fun. Also, don't drink too much of the wine.

extraordinary your travel

Amazing the things we learn on steemit;

A babymoon is the last vacation taken together as a couple before the first baby arrives.

I never knew about such word "babaymoon", i just updated my vocabulary.

Amazing photo you have there. I thinks you really had fun in Rome, I've really heard a lot about there.

That's actually a great idea, and you've taken some great photos to keep. Have a great trip!

One new word added to my vocab "babymoon". What a cute word and sound it creates. Pictures are quite enough to know how amazing time you are having there.

nice a exellent updats from your babymoon and exellent describe babymoon its mean your new journey of life will start in next some months and a life wonderfull and awesome experience will with your baby and then you are 3 and hope thats your another happiest and joyfull life @cryptoctopus
exellent photos of your vacations and really the brilliant shots you took from there and share with us and its really bad that you choose the sunday for museum , but maybe you will get a chance next time to visit there
looking forward to your next life with your baby

This houses on the mountains - a miracle of human mastery.

Learning of the Day/Month/Year - "Babymoon". I am getting enriched day by day while reading blogs like this. It'll eventually help me polish me as well.

Great sir thanks for the sharing
@letssmile

Beautiful towns! Enjoy the baby moon!!

enjoy your vacation.....

A well-deserved vacation before the greatest joy of life. I've gone through this stage but I'm still glad whenever I hear about it

👶 Babymoon first time hearing of that, and I hope the incoming baby is really enjoying it as we await His arrival.

Looks like a fantastic trip. I never did get a chance to make it to Cinque Terre, but my wife and I managed to get over to Sestri Levanti which is fairly close by and has a fantastic little hike to the top of a hill that overlooks the small town.

I hope you both enjoy the trip!

This is nice, I hope you enjoyed your vacation.

First of all these are some beautiful pictures. I love these pictures and secondly congratulations for your baby.

Italy is so beautiful! If you ever get a chance, you should check out Polignano a Mare down south. It is still pretty unspoiled by tourism and has some amazing views. I went with my girlfriend a while back on a whim and we really enjoyed it.

https://steemit.com/photography/@nuthman/trip-to-polignano-a-mare-italy

your baby must feel the happiness and beauty of this vacation @cryptoctopus
congratulations once again, you have legitimately become a parent !

Cinque Terre is such a beauty! I'm sure you guys are enjoying your last adventure together before that one big lifetime adventure! :)

This is awesome. Nice photos, lovely family. Congratulations in advance

This place is beatiful. It kind of reminds me the place where I spend every year my little nag weekends time. I love it there. I love ⛰ hikes. We actualy decided to spend this long weekend in Mohonk Mountain House NY. It’s an amazing hike from the gate house, through the Labyrinth, up the Lemon Squeeze, and then to the Skytop tower. If you have ever chance to be around I really recommend it. I have already been there many times. 2399523E-F547-4360-BE96-960DFEC8D0F7.jpeg

Italy trip is incomplete without a visit to cinque terre! It’s a beautiful and spectacular. You will have to pay for the hiking at the start point and you can do trekking through five villages. Such a unique, neat experience that you can't find anywhere else in the world!! Beautiful Cinque Terre!

Italy is a standout amongst the most critical landmarks of Roman progress all through the world. It was worked in the principal century of Christ and was utilized amid Roman circumstances for wrestling among the detainees. With each other and with the creatures likewise has been an approach to engage the classes of the general population and the high class specifically and another approach to torment and execute the detainees of the Roman Empire. One of the world's most well known landmarks, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is because of the delicateness of the dirt on which it was worked, since it started to be manufactured, yet the designers at the time finished its development in its diagonal frame. The city of Venice, or as it is called by Muslims Venice is a standout amongst the most delightful and lovely urban communities on the worldwide level is various islands that have been associated with each different scaffolds over the Adriatic Sea and Venice is celebrated for its water channels and utilizing pontoons to movement

Have the best of time as a couple.

This is by far the best tip before having a child experience i read! Thanks!

Very nic cupal.

Very beautiful.

Is the hiking trail open or were you taking the road? I went in 2015 and only the trails connected Monterossa to Vernzzaa and then Vernazza to Corniglia were open. :( They were stunning and I still loved every bit of them but wish I could've hiked the entire route. Great photos and post! Happy adventuring! ~Amanda

It seems like you had a great trip so far! And babymoon sounds like a nice thing to do! I sure regret not doing that, but it's too late now. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your trip!

OMG you gave birth already?! That's so sweet to know, congratulations!! Waiting on more pictures ☺
