My apologies in advance because there is a whole lot to fit in one little blog and no time to do it.
Florence by day. Close to where we were camping (within walking distance of the city).
As promised, a little bit of Italy.
My French-Partner-in-Crime and I decided that it was time to visit Italy. We jumped in the car, went past this old abandoned building in the middle of the mountains that used to be the French-Italian border, and made our way down to Florence, Italy.
All of Italy was beautiful but I dont think we were quite ready for what Florence had to offer. Every street and every turn led to a place more beautiful than the next. For two days we just wandered around the city with our tongues hanging out. Our first night we paced by a pizza place where the servers stopped serving to serenade their patrons with opera music. It was amazing, like being in a movie.

Also in Italy we...
-battled in the famous coloseum. 
-played cards on the roof of the vatican
-And of course tried to keep the tower of Pisa from falling.
In the end, I recomend visiting Florence, Italy 100%. For those who take this very wise advice and do go to Florence, here is a good tip. When visiting the giant basillica in the city (it's huge, you will know which one i am talking about when you see it) dont wait in line to go to the top of the dome. The line is about 5 hours too long. Instead, go into the close-by tower attached to the basillica, pay 6euro and climb to the top. You get the same amazing view from the top as the dome but with about 1/16th of the wait.
Until next time. :D
