Firenze

Hello everyone,

Once again I have suceeded in uploading pictures!!! We are at an end of our time in Florence. It has been ideal with only a few minor issues. We have visited all the big sights...Santa Croce, Duomo, Uffitisi, Boboli Gardens, the open air market, Ponte Vecchcio and the Palace. Overall, Florence has been a rich and enjoyable experience.

The only drawback to Florence is the touristy edge which in itself can be fine except for the tourist traps. Yes, and we fell for a
couple...the worst example being the $10 gelato. Also there is this thing that appears on your tab called a copula (think speeled
correctly) which my translater called 'overcast weather' but was in fact a tax for sitting in the restaurant. This is not specific to
Florence, but happens to be one of its perks. The food has been fabulous and yes mum, so has been the limoncello.

Tomorrow we will be spending an afternoon in Pisa before heading to Cinque Terre. We are very much looking forward to visiting this so called 'unspoiled' part of Italy. Ciao and goodnight.

With harmony,
Emilie
