Buon giorno!
On mercoledi (Wednesday) we made it to Florence! After our 9 hour ferry ride, we spent the night in the airport in Athens, caught our flight that morning, got into Rome a little after 10, and took a train to the Rome City Center and then from there we took a train to Florence. We walked around town for a little while searching for our apartment, …

... be taking the fam there upon my return. For the desserts, we sampled a fruit tart cake slice, tiramisu (so good), chocolate cake (really good, and really rich..I think it was dark chocolate) and strawberry cheesecake (I usually don’t like cheesecake, but this one was amazing) Their red and white house wines were really good too.
