Florence I did not entirely like. I found that the city itself lacked a particular element that I felt in the other cities. it seemed to me that Florence was empty, had no trees and just wasn't very occupied.
We did however see a neat church that had a Star of David on top. Found that ironically interesting. Later after the guided tour, and seeing David n all, Chitty, Brendon and I climbed 463 steps inside the dome to see the view of Florence from above.
After arriving back at our campsite, which was sweet only cuz we were obliged purchase a 2Euro swim cap in order to enter the pool area, we headed out for a night of kareoke. Other contiki groups were really enjoying themselves, while my group sat on their arse and stared. Finally after drinking enough a few of us got up (obviously I did) and started to dance. I started to mingle wiith the other contiki tour and met Archy (aka Grant), and CANADA (aka Mark) he's from UVIC and of course Elise. I had an awesome time at the bar after my group left and to make things easier, we actually caught the Mark's coach back to the camp site. It was exactly what I needed! It was an OZ group as well, but if felt exactly like Shane and Nick! It put such a sbig smile on my face that I spent the next 3 days with them, every minute I could.
That night we hung out at the bar a bit more, Elise and I went on an adventure throught the campsite, got lost, made friends with a tree, climbed fences and fianlly we lost eachother and crashed in our rooms.
Next day we were to awake early in the morning to head to town for a free day and in the evening to enjoy a 5 course Tuscan dinner and a night at the Space Electronic disco Club. It was great fun, I enjoyed dancing witih the new boys I met. I left that night with Archy, came back to the campsite to a drunken Rosanna and a huge bitch fest that got out of control with Brendon.
At the beginning of that night I realized that things were going to be extremely different. Anyway, all it is is shit that makes no different or impact in my life. We awoke relatively early to begin our journey to Rome.
