Well last we spoke we were heading out of Cinqueterre (why we did that no one will ever know) . We were trying to head towards Tuscany and then end up in Rome but you will soon see how that worked out.

Due to a certain holiday round these parts called "Sundays", we didnt get too far in Tuscany. We took a few trains this way and that...stopped over in Pisa



, met a nice man on the bus who spoke NO english but told us stories and stories of growing up in Italy and surviving as a boy while America bombed them.

All we could say was "mi dispiaci". During our misadventure we ended up having the only cappucino to match my fathers artistic standards(see picture below), meeting a very nice couple from Ontario, and having the best Italian cuisine to date. Ultimately we ended up here in Firenze where we found a gorgeous 4 star hotel with a tiny (but very nice) room across the street for 1/2 the price of its cheapest room. We have a fresco on our ceiling so I guess we did alright!!



Once the rain lets up we hope to head out and see some sights here in Florence, then we will head back to Chianti tomorrow by car (weve had enough of trains for now).

Times running out...
ciao ciao!

(Trips New Note: Success is MINE!
