Day 10: Florence
... that didn't stop Mom, Dad, Tom and me from walking around the whole city while CJ worked on some schoolwork. We had a late start because we putzed around the apartment a bit and Mom and Dad found a cool market where they bought us some food for the next few days.

We noticed the Italian drivers continued the European tradition of NOT indicating that they were changing lanes and some weren't always convinced that ...
The Italian Adventure Begins - Florence!
By the time we arrived in Florence basically the whole group was unwell, coughing and spluttering all the way through the coach. We stayed at another campsite in wood cabins. Our first night in Florence was spent at a karaoke bar in town. We ordered cocktails and many people ordered entire jugs of cocktail mixture. This made for an interesting night as usual. Having a large bunch of Aussies and a ...
