We woke up at 9 today as my brother was starting high school and I wanted to see him before he set off and we set off for Florence! Unfortunately the lack of wifi made this impossible! We made our way to the train station saying goodbye to our favourite place and went for a coffee and crossaint. We also discovered that some people have no social awareness! We bought our tickets first class again as it was the same price as second class yay! And made our way to the platform. This time on the train we had a coffee and kinder roll and relaxed whilst making our way to Florence! We had a horrendous walk to the hotel in the heat however when we got there our location to the city and the hotel in general was beautiful. We freshend up and made our way to explore Florence!! We hit the cathedral and some where I blindfolded Susan and surprised her into the beautiful sights, we walked around and explored then decided to get some food in front of the cathedral, you couldn't have got a nicer view. We got bruschetta, spaghetti carbonara and taglatelli Italian style! Then waited in the queue to go up the Bell Tower, we waited around 45 minutes then made our way up the 414 stairs... In 10 minutes we had a panoramic view of the city! Even second time around it was spectacular, my favourite spot in the world! No words can describe how beautiful it is. We made our way down and set out on our way to find some well deserved water and ice cream! As we are now ice cream expertise... We were fussy and ended up going somewhere on the bridge which costed a fortune! I got kinder egg and cookies and Susan got coconut and Carmel! We then made our way on another trek to Michaelangelo Square to see the statue and watch the sunset. We got there an hour early, however we were lucky as there was no space to sit if we were any later. We watched the sunset on Florence and it was absolutely beautiful, the perfect way to end our trip and Susan's last night. We walked back to the hotel, surprisingly we didn't need any maps because my sense of direction was on point! We listened to some country music and headed to bed!
