Florence, Italy
So Florence was fairly similar to Siena, just bigger. Again filled with about 10 art galleries so it was probably not the best place for us to stop. But we did make the most of it…we saw the second biggest Basilica in the world and also a bridge which is completely lined with jewellery shops making it the most expensive bridge in the world. But most of the jewellery was dead ugly so I don’t know who would pay for it! This was a good place to just wonder and walk through all the streets and look in shops. Found a super nice place to have a Panini which for once was not a rip off!! We stayed out at a campsite again in a little cabin, was bloody freezing but was good as they had cooking facilities. Hooray! We took a day trip our to a small town called Greve in Chianti just to see what the Tuscan country side looked like… was really pretty and mainly just hills completely covered in vineyards.Didn’t find my castle though girls! Haha Hmmm and I think that is it for Florence. Oh we did by some leather goods from these markets and I used my super good bargining skills to get some euros off!
