Florence

Florence: After 36 hours of rough seas in the Med, we arrived back in Italy, and from port we took rains to Florence. We had 2 nights here, and while was not to kind for the greater part of our stay, the first afternoon was blue skies, the next day and a half was drizzly rain, off and on, more annoying than anything… This city is truly beautiful, or hotel, was a majestic old hotel from the 1800’s and we really enjoyed it, it’s location was perfect. The food in Florence is great, we found some great little spots, in the narrow cobbled streets that were just so nice, getting an insight to the regional taste of Tuscany. Speaking of which, we got out into the hills of Tuscany, and for one brief window it snowed very lightly, unfortunately, it turned to more rain, so we got no pictures, which was a sad, you just don’t see that countryside anywhere else. There is the best Gelato shop here, called, Coronas, it's always packed, and once you have tasted the Gelato, you understand why! Last 3 days coming up, in Rome.
