Once in Florence we followed the directions that we were given and found the hostel. You have to be buzzed know because it is in an apartment building. We got checked in he took us to our room. We got a map he showed us the must sees. We went to wander around. We found a Torisum information both got some brochures. They had this very interesting bord that had what was going on so we looked through that and the ballet came up it was Alice in Wonderland. So we decided to see that we went to the address to buy tickets. Well it was a live taping from London. They want us to pay 15€ to watch a live taping. So we decided to pass and not do that. Back to the hostel to get dressed up and go out to dinner.
Another girl arrived in our room. She is from Australia. We will call her C. We got talking and told her our plan to go to the hard rock cafe. She was very friendly and forward and before I could invite her along she asked to come. So we all talked and got ready. As we were getting ready another girl came into our room. We will call her E, she was from whales. We invited her along. So the four of us headed out to dinner. There are five beds in our room and about 31 people staying into the hostel.
We got to the hardrock no problem. I got a cosmopolitan when we waited for a table. It was very good. I ordered the steak, shauna got faheatas, C got frenchfrys, and E got cheesecake. The other girls had eaten earlier. It was such a great time just talking and hanging out.
After dinner as we were heading back to the hostel we stoped at the church want to talk about creapy go to a church late at night. We stoped and got some wine. Back at the hostel we had our wine and talked more. Lots of fun.
The next day E had to leave the hostel because she could only book for the one night. Me shauna and C. Went to see the David it was in a museum we got in line and the tour people came around trying to get u to go with them for 30€ it was 6€ to get in. It was a three hour wait. We ended up getting wifi and booking the tickets on line for tomorrow morning. Sent we left the line and went to find the bridge and the royal gardens.
On the way we found post office and C had a gift to send home so we got stamps. When we were there I asked about sending a box home to Canada. Well it was not that much so I bought a box then Shauna got a box. From there we found the bridge. It was all jewelry shops. It was very interesting to see. From there just a short walk to the palace. We got our tickets for the garden and the porcelain musume was included. Well the garden was massive. There was so much in it. Big hedges, beautiful fountains, this big round white rocks that u could easily Lay on. It was beautiful. As we were exiting there was a fat naked man statue I found funny and so I went to take its picture well tucked down this path to the side of the statue was a building. This building was very interesting because the walls and seams that were chiseled into the wall were to look like a sea side cave. It was so interesting and odd. Very hard to describe.
From there we headed back to the hostel. We stoped for lunch at one point. On the way back we stoped at a grocery store they had skipy peanut butter. So I got that and bread. Back at the hostel we chilled for the rest of the night and E came back. Not in our room but on the same floor. Apparently the other hostel he opened the door in his pj's, it felt like his home, he gave an odd vibe, and he tryed to charge more then the booking price online. So E came back and they had thankfully had a cancalation at our place.
So the four of us decided the the next day we would head out together.
