Firenze aka. Florence

June 17:
195 and I arrived in Florence, Italy yesterday, June 17, after visiting Pisa, Italy. Bezaire decided to go straight to Roma. We stopped at a hostel and it was full so we looked back and forth on the same street, no such luck. There were two guys who sat at a cafe watching the whole thing so one guy waved to us and gave us a business card of another hostel in other location. So we went to the train station at the hotel customer service and asked the woman if she would kindly to call the other hostels for us to see if there were any available. The card that guys gave to us was also full but the woman at the hostel who seemily to live with her roommate had a guest room so they offered it to us at 35€, again not so cheap for a night but we were glad to get a room. Later we found out that it was worst for Bezaire in Roma as he looked for 4 hours, no luck and ended up paying 50€ for a room. Today, we are going to see around Florence then head down to Roma (this time we got on internet last nite to reserve a good deal place in Roma to stay at, a campground for approx $12 ea of us per night).. be updating later on.

Sadly, I missed the chance to see Zurich Cafe but I certainly will not pass up the chance to try those places in Poland and the chocolate in Vienna.. will let you know how I like it or so forth, smiles.. I certainly enjoyed the trip so far but needed few days of relaxing without all those walking and sights.. maybe will rest in Lake Como, Italy or in Crotia..Sorry to hear about your cat, I know she was bitchy little fur but she sure left interesting stories, smiles
