    Buongiorno Firenze

    November 13, 2015 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    After waking up and having a coffee we packed our bags for our trip to Firenze (Florence). We grabbed a coffee and pastry from a small cafe then grabbed our bags and got the metro to station. Two hours later we were in Pisa for a quick stop before our train to Firenze (only an hour). We got a taxi to our unit but we were a bit early so had coffee and tiramisu and apple tart. Hello Italian sweets. Lucky we have been walking and carrying our bags...We checked into our AirBnb unit which is in a great location very close to the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge. C and I went to buy some groceries for breakfasts and a lazy dinner tonight. Oh look. Red wine in our basket. Seriously at €6 who were we to say no. We had to weigh our bananas and tomatoes ourselves - top tip, they are indeed not called Roma tomatoes in Italy. Oblongo in fact...fair call I guess. We had pasta with salad and bread rolls for dinner and all the groceries we got came to €20... we were quite surprised at this cheap price. Back to the unit to do some washing and have dinner. Later we decided to venture out to find gelato but most places were closed. We found a place open but the gelato was average and expensive. Hopefully we find better!Read more
