Arrived in Florence pretty earlish and our bus guide offerered to take us into town to show us a few sites and to go out for dinner. Caught the local bus into town and checked out yet another church and then wondered down by the river to perve at some locals playing football and also to check out the Old Bridge (The Italian name escapes me at the mo but I know translated it is old bridge). Around eight we went and at dinner which was pretty delicious and then went to the club next door (Red Garter) which unfortunately was where the Contiki Bus troops also went. The music really sucked and was hardly authentic (was all Aussie/Kiwi songs) and so a couple of us decided to try and find somewhere better and Italian ... we ended up at Florence's most famous Gelato store ... that was good enough. It was simply divine (and I went there everyday that I was in Florence). Was an earlish night as we need to catch the last bus back to the campsite.
Day 2.
Well we started of as a group of six or so, Katcha and I wanted to listen to the tour of the Doma whist the other didn't and thus lost each other. But we had the best day.
Went to the Acadamia Museum and checked out David's Bottom .... unfortuantely we were not allowed to take photos of MA's David but I did get a sneaky one of his bum.
Ummm after that we went to a gallery which again the name escapes me. Loads of beautiful paintings and all and all a very impressive gallery.
Then went shopping or rather just window shopping this day. Intended on just getting a handbag but instead ending up trying on loads of leather jakets of which I brought the next day.
Went to MA's Pizzaa and was grossed out by a tosser amongst the trees ... Italy is full of flashers and wankers we have discovered. Anyway was a beautiful view of the river from up here and I took a great photo of the sunset and all the bridges. Twas simply beautiful. Hiked up a great big hill and had a nosey at the Tusan houses up here and got a little lost but was part of the fun.
Was already dark by the time we got back into town and we ended up find
