If you happened to visit the Cinque Terre this October you hit the traveler’s jackpot: a beautiful Indian summer. 

October is usually a transitional month with fall wardrobes (light sweaters, scarves and whatnot) making their debut. Not so this year, October has had more than its fair share of dips in the sea and sunbathing at the beach. 

If you’re headed here soon I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this beautiful weather holds out. You’ll definitely want to pack (and wear) layers that can be shed (or piled on) easily; in direct sunlight it can feel rather hot but in the shade (or after the sun sets) it can be quite chilly. 

Carpe diem!
