On our way out of Assisi we found markets! …but we were looking forward to being in Florence (and didn’t have room for any items in our luggage!) so we made a quick stop for cash and headed off. On our way to Florence: Florence: (This dude is about to make a phone call and was texting earlier!) The streets of Florence are narrow – scoots seem to be able to squeeze through though!

Toll road time: (Toll roads - they are raised highways (at some points) where you can see the surrounding scenery below - not so bad for travelling...plus the roads are well sealed and maintained. Ros at the wheel with 220k's to go on the toll road! Italian toll roads are also easier to use than the ones we...
