Florence!

A previous series of photos for your entertainment... (post car ride in morning in hungary)

 awkward camera angle.....

"thats where you find the totti boys"






We have arrived in Florence, delayed by a ten minute discussion with the over friendly bloke on the last motorway toll (an irate queue gathering behind the princess' bottom) and a rather tedious journey over from Slovenia.


Our stop for the night (taken this morning) where we arrived circa 1am.


We stopped at Venice to sleep in the car but were soon dripping in sweat - we chose to drive on towards Florence. Parking in a petrol station overnight we had a good nights sleep and started the drive here this morning. We managed to drive right past the various turnings for "Firenze" without a thought deciding at one point that Pisa would be better than Florence because it was signposted. Several discussions along the lines of "Where the fuck is Florence?" and "Is it a region rather than a city?" were embarked upon silenced only further down the road......


At a petrol station half an hour into our Pisa trip we discovered that "Firenze" is "Florence". Why had no one told us?!

We are heading out to explore the city now First impressoins? BEAUTIFUL.
