Day 7
It has been a week! Weird…
I woke upat around 8:45 this morning…the latest I’ve slept in so far. Joanna woke up at eight. It is very hot here in Florence.
We got breakfast at a bakery nearby. I had a chocolate croissant for only a euro. It’s amazing how cheap places are away from the tourist hubs.
On Mondays most museums are closed and we weren’t dressed for churches so we decided to have a chill day…funny since it was in the mid-nineties.
We walked around a lot andsaw the duomo. It was very crowded and we realized that we are staying in a very non-touristy part.
There are a lot of vendors around with their carts. They have a lot of leather goods.
We had lunch at a place on suggestion ofjoannas guide book. It was yummy, cheap, and filled with locals. I had zucchini risotto which was a nice change from pasta and pizza.
Then we walked around some more.
We later returned to the hostel and did laundry which took a long time. Then we had dinner and got gelato. Today I had melon and grape. It was good.
Then we returned to the hostel.
It was an overall untiring day which was nice.
