I enjoyed the Hotel President - basic but very comfortable with great service. When I arrived the air conditioning wasn't working on my floor but they got it fixed pronto, which certainly exceeded my expectations! And they provided me with a kettle and all the necessary supplies to make coffee/tea in the room - very rare in Italy! It's only about 20 minutes from the Florence airport, a E25 taxi fare

(I remembered hearing ...

... the bus stop we had missed. It was pretty easy to overshoot our stop because Camping Michelangelo is very well hidden in a forest of olive trees. The camp had an excellent location with a view overlooking the city. Our canvas tent was put to the test the first night with a heavy downpour of rain. No leaks!!
The next morning, suffering from a mild case of sightseers fatigue, we slept in and slowly made our way down into the city. We did ...
Evening in Prato
We then caught the bus to Genevieve's house in Prato. After dropping off our bags we went to do some shopping.
In the evening we met up with Genevieve's friend, Tessa and went for an aperitivo at a cute little place. Then we went for pizza - yum yum - at a lovely resturant. We had an awesome dinner filled with loads of laughter! After pizza we went to a pub called the Wallace and had a drink and more giggles. All told it was an amazing ...
