The day started off with a walking tour of Florence followed by a leather demonstration. We then had some free time which we wandered around the city and sampled some different gelato flavours.

The city is very European however I thought it would be more like the movies with beautiful landscape, little rustic houses with red roofs!! Not at all like that. The city is a bit dirty and very spread out and the Italians aren't particularly fond of pedestrians.

In the afternoon we travelled out to Tuscany and had a wine tour/tasting and Al fresco dinner which was home cooked pasta it was amazing!! Tuscany was exactly how I pictured Florence so maybe I should blame 'under the Tuscan sun' for that misconception.
