Cinque di Maggio - Fa Piove

Rai, rain, rain.
We were scheduled to go to Cinque-Terre today, but didn't go- and not because of the rain. We got up at 5:45, and headed out. I had ordered a taxi for 6:30 am to take us to the Santa Maria Novella station, and- NO TAXI. I tried ordering another but couldn't connect. Then used the Uber app to order a taxi, and no takers. I ended up calling the tour guide, and explained. She said they could wait another 10 minutes, but I further explained that we were in Oltrarno and couldn't make it in time. I just didn't want them to have to wait for us.

I emailed GetYourGuide, and said I knew we couldn't cancel, but asking if we could get a discount if we re-booked. They kindly indicated they'll work with us

We took naps, and started to do some more planning, then headed out to get some lunch. W had some minestrone and we shared a meat and cheese plate, and got glasses of a nice Montepulciano.

Back to our place in a downpour. Some more researching, and dinner- cappelini that we bought at the store the other day, and some of the wine from Francesca for me, hot chocolate and cookies from the French market for Wayne.Read more
