I am a bit behind as we have just been too busy, I am currently in Rome but want to finsh up telling you about Florence first. My second day in Florence was spent wandering the streets - looking at all the buildings, incredible door knobs, interesting piazzas and people watching - truly fascinating. I found more yummy gelato - yes, there does seem to be a theme. I had just taken a spoon full when I bumped into one of the tour mates Katie - she laughed and said she had just finished her cup. As this was a free day for everyone - we all separated and went our own ways - a couple of people headed to the Serial Killer museum - that is right - Florence has a museum of famous serial killers - I understand that Jack the Ripper was one of the highlights - the Kiwis were so grossed out by it they had to leave part way through. Florence has something for everyone...
In the evening, we all met and headed up to the Piazzale Michangelo to watch the sunset over Florence - it was beautiful! We brought a picnic, found a bit of grass to sit on and enjoyed the company and the view. A man was playing music in a nearby cafe - a bit of opera, some classical, some old movie music - it was lovely. A wonderful way to say good-bye to Florence. (I have some photos which I will upload shortly)
