Before I get started I just wanted to say that I am writing this for us so we can read back and remember all that we were able to do. I wrote a journal on our last trip to Europe and it was amazing how the memories that had long been asleep came flooding back when I read it. I hope that I'll still get that feeling in years to come from reading this so I can keep the memories alive. I know that some people liked our last journal so it's really a personal choice i...

Day 27 - Thursday 24 September 2015 We woke up late because we wanted to have a nice sleep in given it was our last chance for the holiday. Jazz and I wanted to go and do some more shopping given it was our last day in Florence. We also had to stop into a pharmacy to get some cold & flu tablets for Jazz as she wasn't feeling the best. Jazz had booked us in for a couples massage at 2pm. We were both really hungry so decided to get some food first then hit...

Day 26 - Wednesday 23 September 2015 We had tickets to get into the Uffizi at 8.45am so we were up early and had to power walk there on an empty stomach to make it on time.

Day 25 - Tuesday 22 September 2015 I woke up early and spent a while catching up on my blog.

We needed to go and pick up Jazz's bag which she had left behind in the van so that was our first item for the day. We decided it would be easier to just walk there so on the way we stopped and bought some cof...

Day 24 - Monday 21 September 2015 This was our first full day in Florence. We had a truffle hunting and wine tour booked which we were both excited about. We got up and got ready as before the tour we had to go get our car and then return it to the car hire place. That all went smoothly and we then had to make our way to the meeting point for the tour. We didn't have time to get breakfast so stopped to get some nectarines from a little fruit stall to eat on t...
