Florence

Woken up to bells ringing at 7am, they will forever be in my mind!!! Breakfast in a lovely cafe 5 mins from our appt. just love their fresh juice and food. Walked around one of the many squares with all the tourists. Waited in a queue again to visit a museum. Had an early lunch at the same place we had dinner last night. Walked over the Ponte Vecchio bridge and watched the dragon boats practising on the Arno River. Opening ceremony for the International Festival tomorrow night with racing on Sat. NZ team racing. Came home for Siesta (could get used to this)!!! Back downtown to see the famous sculpture of David, just mazing. Claire has sore throat so only three for dinner. Let’s hope Claire better tomorrow. Nothing worse than being unwell whilst on holiday.Read more
