Corniglia is in the middle of Cinque Terre with two villages on either side. It is technically a comune of Vernazza.  Corniglia is the only one of the five villages that…

    Mount Bonell is a hike in Austin that is fairly easy. If you take the path it could be a bit steep at points but they also have a route that is all stairs. The stairs can get tiring but it’s possible to break when necessary. Once you get to the top you get to…

    Parc du Cinquantenaire is beautiful. There is a huge fountain that reminds me a bit of the fountain in Washington Square Park in NYC. An arch that reminds me of the Wellington Arch in London or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is an impressive sight at the park as well. There’s a lot of…
