Day 31 - Rome to Firenze

We got up and packed and were outta the hostel bz 10ish, then spent 2 hours at the internet place adn then grabbed a quick breakfast adn made it to the station by 1ish and ran into Fabienne, Dave, and his mom and sister. We didn´t chat for long cause we had to reserve our train which ended up being a pain because we were tight for time for the 1:30 train and ended up missing it, but then grabbed the 2:30 with no problem, but still got stuck paying a 12 Euro reservation fee (never taking a EuroStar train again...).

We got to Firenze by 4:30ish, and just like in Riomaggiore, we were met by a guy running a hostel near the station and so we went with him to see the place adn then booked in for 2 nights. Afterwards, we went for a walk around a bit and grabbed a beer in the piazza where the main Duomo here in Firenze is. Florence is an absolutely beautiful place and you can feel the atmosphere like no other place we´ve been yet. It just feels so artsci and cultured (unlike myself).

We split up for a couple hours and then met at 8 and found a place for dinner. It was okay, but definately not the same old place back in Rome (we called the place in Rome Ali Baba´s cause that´s what the manager always called himself to the girls). I know one thing for sure about Italy, and that´s that i will miss the Italian food so much. We´ve both been spending way too much money on dinner´s, but we can´t help ourselves.

After dinner we grabbed some beers from the store adn went to the main Duomo piazza again and sat on a bench, had a drink and just admired how gorgeous and big the church is, and people watched. Home to bed by 1ish.

Tomorrow weér off to see David (both the one from Canada, again, and Michaelangelo´s).
