• Day 23 our Penultimate dat together

    September 21, 2024 in Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Our recent journey highlights covered the drive back to Ljubljana via the fortress Castle in the hill and 2 days in Ljubljana before taking a 9 hour bus ride to Florence. The first photo is when we said our goodbyes to the manager/cleaning lady at our "capsule" hostel in Ljubljana. The Ljubljana Capsule Hostel was unusual in that the individual capsules were fully enclosed, complete with large TVs, excellent lights and comfortable.
    In Florence we've been to see Michelangelos David plus several huge uncompleted sculptures of his. The queue, like Florence's crowds were overwhelming. Clever Rick spotted an "official" selling inflated tickets which included a straight to the front entry ... and we paid his price and saved 2+ hours from being in the v long queue.
    Monday Florence Museum's are closed. Tomorrow we plan to visit Florence's UFFIZI Gallery.
    Wednesday day is our parting day. Rick heads for Rome to fly home on the 26th. Bruce heads to Lucca.
    Needless to say our month together has been an outstanding success, and we are better for it. Lucky us.
    PS The last photo is the very tiny remains of a gourmet 1.5 inch huge steak meal we consumed. It was tender and delicious.
