City Life

A 3hr and 45 minute train ride later, we arrive in Florence. Ah! Spending four days in Rome was nice, but the minute I arrived in Florence it was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders! ( Okay okay ...I shouldn't be complaining I just spent the last 4 days in Rome, totally awesome!) But Rome, just like any other big city, was another confirmation to why as I could never live in one. The fast pace, crowded streets, hustle and bustle is fun to visit for a day or two, but it can be quite exhausting. Florence does not have that vibe! It's relaxed cobble stone streets are filled with people who give off a much slower pace life.

Only a ten minute walk from the train station and we find our hostel : Academy Hostel. Once again, a breathe of fresh air as we get buzzed into the big wooden door of the entrance. Not only does the place provide breakfast in the morning, snacks during the evening, laundry services (all the above saying us a few euros)...but its CLEAN!!I was itching to get out of our hostel in Rome. The Yellow Hostel in Rome was a dump! All I can say is thank god for my shower sandals and sleep sack! Oh and can not forget hand sanitizer..ha ha :)

Tomorrows agenda: Hopping on a bus to go to Pisa ( everything will be closed in Florence as it is some religious holiday)

Well that is all for now...I need to finish this glass of vino and do some laundry! After 10 days of re-wearing clothes, I think its time to wash! ;)

Ciao!
