Next stop Florence. We were on our way to Florence today when we stopped into Pisa! It was great spending some time trying to make some good Pisa photos and having a good laugh before it started pouring and we were running for shelter. The weird thing about the weather here is that the days feel so much longer than our summer days. It's daylight till around 9:30-10 so even if it rains at around 2-4pm you've still got the heat for another few hours once it's cleared up. After my first European McDonald's meal we were on the road again to continue our trip to Firenze! After arriving we only had a short time before dinner & then karaoke night. We had dinner at a beautiful restaurant where there was awesome meatballs and I managed to drink a whole lot of champagne that made me very very bloated! Eh not a good feeling with lots of Italian food. We then went to this karaoke bar which later turned into a night club. It was funny to see all of the drunk people find the confidence and bust out a few backstreet boy songs. Meeting a whole lot of other Contiki tours and locals it was one of the bigger nights on tour. Although the people I'm surrounded by make it enjoyable all the time. The next day in Florence for Fran Clare and I was a shopping day! Saw the Statue of David and the Duorme they were amazing! Then after a bag pack for the next day and a doll up out again for another GREAT night. We went just out of town to this immaculate restaurant. The staff were singing and dancing and so friendly, we had an elderly table next to us & they were enjoying get up to have a boogy to some local music and I couldn't believe how good some of them were. We had live harmonica, violin Players and a opera singer. Not to forget about the BEST food I've had yet. We had the usual pasta before having a beautiful steak in ticket and Parmesan and homemade potatoes. Reminded me so much of home and my tastes buds were quite pleased with the nursing tastes. Soon enough we got to space electronic disco!!! Another karaoke bar, with a night club upstairs. So when it was time everyone headed up. From podiums, tables, singing, dancing, new friends, 3/4 alcohol filled drinks, crazy memories our last night in Florence was definitely a one we'll remember.
