We’re in Florence! I’m way behind in blogging due to lack of internet access and time, so I’ll catch you up!
We left Corfu on a ferry to Italy and were in Rome for 3 nights. That’s definitely one of my favorite cities in Europe and even though it was the third time I’ve been there, it’s still gorgeous and breathtaking. We saw all of the tourist spots; the Vatican, the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, etc. We did a tour of Rome at night with our tour group and had an amazing time! The city lights up at night and is absolutely gorgeous!
After Rome we decided as a group we wanted to do a wine tasting so our tour guide set it up for us! We stopped in Tuscany at a Vineyard that has been owned by the same family since the 1700s and had a wine lesson and tasting. Tuscany is GORGEOUS! I’m obsessed, I could live there forever and be okay with that. I have several pictures that I’ll post when I get a chance that don’t even look real they’re so pretty.
Last night after our wine tasting we finally made it into Florence. Our hotel is a 15minute walk to the city center and Duomo, so it’s nice to be centrally located. We grabbed dinner with the 4 of us and some of our fabulous new friends and then ended up coming back and going to bed early because we were all exhausted.
This morning was a walking tour of Florence where we ran into Colleen randomly! We knew we were going to be in Florence at the same time but we didn’t have phones so I never dreamed we’d be able to see her. Such a lucky coincidence!
After the tour we grabbed lunch, did some shopping, and took a lazy afternoon to reorganize our lives! Tonight we have a bar crawl through the city and tomorrow is our last day in Florence before heading to Venice!
We had wifi for about half an hour and lost it, so photos (and this blog) will be posted as soon as we get it back!
Love and miss you all!
XOXO
