Buongiorno! We are in Italy! It has been another drive day, but we made a few cool stops along the way. Before we left France we toured a purfumery. We attempted being a 'nose' - a job that only 150 people in the world have (100 of which are in France) and that requires 10 years of training. Did you know that it takes 3 tonnes of rose petals to make 1 litre of perfume? Sounds like a business you could get into Kaylene!
We also stopped at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. What an interesting place! Did you know that it took over 800 years to build? Also, it wasn't built on a lean on purpose... it sunk! They have fixed the soil problem now and are confident it will stay how it is for at least another 200 years.
We have just checked into our hotel in Florence and are ready for a hearty Italian feast and some karaoke!

Deb France one day Italy the next, you must be on amazing adventure overload. Do you have to pinch yourself sometimes to make sure you are not dreaming?
Kaylene Rose petal jam perhaps, but perfume sounds just a tad to hard!
