We are in Florence for only one day it is beautiful, we caught up with Rosanna who has not changed at all, her hotel is very nice -Hotel Colombo.

Today we had a guide called Giovanna who guided us through the piazza where they are filming the movie called "inferno " directed by Ron Howard. We also went into an area where they showed you how to make leather .

Also we visited Ponto Vecchio, after some lunch and an ice cream paid by insight we walked for half an hour from St Croce to the coach & we left for Venice.

The guide Irene gave a running commentary on the population of Italy and the different regions, it was a predominantly a migrant nation especially after the war, now with a population of over 61 million people it has become an immigration nation.

How times have changed.
