Freezing in Firenze

Checked out of our Spello accommodation (sad face). Stopped at a cute little cafe for a coffee and a croissant (breakfast). One had a delicious custard inside. So good.

Then wandered through the town towards station as it began to rain. We were planning on trying out the last of our hosts recommendations but it didn't open in time so had to go elsewhere. Problematic as by this point was raining steadily and we'd gone past all the open places. Eventually found a cafe without electricity so had some drab plain rosemary pizza. Luckily we'd also stopped earlier at a bakery for a weird sweet fennel hard donut (it was OK - didn't really know what we were ordering) and plain onion pizza (delicious). So we staved off hunger and waited for train.

Journey was uneventful - drab weather so scenery was nice but avoided photos as wouldn't have looked great. Saw some hillside towns and went past a lake at one point. Beautifully set against the backdrop of some snow covered mountains.

Arrived in Firenze (Florence) and decided it should be named Freeze-enze. Or something. Basically it was cold. Was a 20min or so walk to our place - glad to arrive.

Apartment is nice so will get settled in. Indian for dinner which was good and cheap and delivered (odd way of packaging it up). Will take it easy tomorrow and aim to get out and about on Wednesday.Read more
