Florence

22nd July Florence

We made it to Florence eventually – our camp site was out of town and we had a bit of a pain finding the bus to get there but after the calamity fo camping Verona we were pleasantly surprised to find our twin cabins had a private clean shower and air con. We were done. And there was a pohaol.

23rd – we spent the morning fart assing about swimming in the pool- reading Stephanie Myer’s books and having a great time discussing her poor ability to write dialogue. Eventually we decided to head to PISA- at about 3pm. After a hot train ride we made it. I actually was surprised to see the tower was in fact on a big lean – I kind of imagined they might have been exaggerating it to draw tourists in. Other than the tower there’s not a lot to Pisa. Their gelato was the worst.

24th – Florence

We wandered about Florence- eating overprice pasta and trying to find whatever it is that people rave about Florence for. There was a big fairly impressive church- but at the risk of sounding like a philistine I just wish Europe had a bit more to offer than old churches. I’ve seen enough. We thought we would go see David- there was a cue that wrapped around Florence so after hearing some people say it wasn’t that impressive we went and found an imitation David in a piazza and had photos with him instead. The sun was incredibly hot- had to be in the 40s.
