Via Bardazzi, 49 Florence, Tuscany, Italy, 50127, 39-55-4369066
We leave our lovely apartment in Rome and head for Termini to get our fast train to Florence. We arrive at the terminal early, only to discover that in true Italian fashion the platform number is not shown yet; they all run like crazy people for the platforms at the last minute (and there is much wringing of hands and raised voices when the train pulls out without them). We are early, so we get on first and take all the best luggage space. Against advise in our guide book we do not lock our l...
Florence, Tuscany, Italy indianajillHow wonderful to sleep in and not rush. We get our clothing sorted and head out to find the Laundromat. This should be an experience! It actually goes better then we expected. The Laundromat is at the end of our street, we have lots of change and the instructions are in picture format, easy. While our clothes are washing I take Susan next door to the internet café so she can print off some info for her trip to Greece. A half hour later our laundry is complete (we will finish drying our clothe...

... dans les jardins!
ensuite on est aller voir le vrai "David" de michealange. installer au bout d,un aller d'un petit muse au gros prix! c'est impressionant de voir sa grandeur et surtout de penser qu'il a ete realise dans un seul bloc de marbre, sculte a la main avec les outils de l'epoque. Comme dans tout bon muse, il est impossible prendre des photos!
... Ponte Vecchio is the only bridge not to have been blown up by the Nazis in 1944. It now serves as Florence’s “diamond district” – this bridge-slash-shopping-plaza has been lined with small jewelry stores for decades because a rich Medici family member who once lived nearby the bridge didn’t like the smell of the butcher shops that originally were located there (bad smell), so he ordered jewelry stores to replace all the ...

Florence, Tuscany, Italy frdrick... whatever we wanted from that room... This was at 3pm too, not like we arrived at some weird hour.
The "dorm" was just an apartment with 6 beds in 1 room, a kitchen and 4 beds in the room joined to the kitchen with no door between - check out the photos on facebook.
Glad we booked the cheaper 6 bed dorm and not the more expensive 4 bed!!!
Found out later that day they have another "dorm" downstairs with a 6 bed room and a double bed in ...
... The Birth of Venus’... it’s nice to look at for ages. When we had finished there we shared a calzone for lunch and wandered over the Ponte Vecchio, up all the millions of steps to the Piazza Michelangelo where we relaxed and enjoyed the view of Florence. There was a couple who had just gotten married having their photos taken up there and they got really into it – some very random poses that were not always flattering... We mixed it up a bit ...
