Today was the drive from Florence to Rome. We were o a tight schedule here too so that we could do most of the Rome attractions that afternoon since one day really isn't enough. Only a four hour drive with another chaotic lunch stop then we hit Rome. Every second building was just ruins that are being restored. We all got out to serious heat and humidity for our waling tour. Only Italians who have studied history in Italy are legally allowed to guide in the cou...

Today was a full day in Florance starting with a leather demonstration which Jen and I decided to skip and instead got ou first Italian coffee - OMG. Amazing. Perfect.

The group then split with some people going to the beach for a swim and then the poor sick people, me included, headed back to the hotel. Tonig...

This morning was extremely hard. We slept through 2 alarms and Ash had to knock on our door twice before we got up. Without realising the time I had a leisurely shower and once I got out saw it was 6:50am and we had to be on the bus by 7am. Jen was still asleep. Biggest rush ever... Didn't even know what we were packing in our bags we just grabbed everything which was all over the room and bathroom. Skipped breakfast which is never good, but only just made the ...
