All effort and no reward
I woke up at 9 and spent the first hour online chatting to emily and gemma on my paldringo app. We eventually stirred i grabbed a shower, the water was warm but kept fading in and out. We got dressed and walked down to museum of uffizi. The queue for this place wasnt long it just didnt move! An american couple told us where we could reserve tickets so we walked with them to the office and bought entrance for 13:30 for €10.50, €4 more than usual but couldnt be bothered queuing in a queue that wasnt moving.
We had over an hour to kill so we decided to walk upto the hill
that views the whole city. We walked up a massively steep hill and guess what no view at all, we ended up walking back down to the other side not seeing anything. The hostel tourguide would of been highly dissapointed with us, all that effort and no reward!
We then walked into the museum. Copey walked through a closed door and got told off for going into the wrong area. As we walked around it seemed that 80% of the stuff had been restored and there was a few pictures places empty, we joked that copey had rolled them up and was keeping them! Copeys well into his art, so much he had to pull out his glasses like indianna jones and inspect them thougherly. I was half expecting him to ask for my hat and then go to a sex shop to buy a whip to complete the look. When we leave the museum im expecting either a pit of snakes or a giant bolder to contend with.
I wandered about and managed to loose copey in the museum, i waited a bit but thought he must of been caught by the boulder. I decided to wander to macdonalds for dinner. I found my round quite easy now without a map. I ate my macys and went back to my room, the hotel owner let me in as copey had the keys to the room. I just lazied about in my room and spoke to emily on skype.
After 2 hours copey made it back, turns out he was watching an italian fireman rescue a bottle of lager that had been purched on top of a 50 foot statue, check the pics out even the fireman takes a bow. We decided to go to egypt now as the weather in europe was crap, so we spent the night booking flights. The cheapest on we found was via zurich with swiss air. We booked them and another 4* hotel in milan for the weekend, if were luxky we may catch an inter milan game and hurl abuse at morineho.
It was 10pm and we were hungry so headed to find a kebab shop, we ended up at the train station so booked in for pisa tommorrow and then found the kebab shop. I got kebab and chips with a big bottle of hieneken for €5.50 bargain, cheaper than the pints the other night. We went back to the room and took blood diamond from the owners dvd collection, i was looking for indiana jones but he didnt have it in his collection.
