Florence - Day 3

We decided to 'sleep in' today - i.e. wake up at 8am, instead of yesterday's crazy early start and last night's crazy dinner. After packing up, we headed to the train station to give this a try on our ride back to the airport...

Ended up back at Rivoire on Piazza Signoria and today has a very local experience by eating at the coffee bar. I’m getting used to their crazy strong coffee and it is a good thing because it keeps me going through the day.

After dawdling in Il Papiro, one of my all time favorite paper shops, we moved along to the primary goal of the day – finding Jon a nice suit or sports coat, which ended up being a successful mission even though communicating with the helpers in the shop was less than easy.

We couldn’t leave Florence with one last cone of ‘baby yogurt’ (thanks Rachel!) so we walked back to the Duomo. Before we knew it, it was almost noon (check out time at the hotel) so we hustled back to the hotel, picked up our bags, checked out and got to the train station with 12 minutes to spare.
The ride back to the airport was much more scenic on the train, so we were happy we tried it out.



Next trip: Amsterdam with Lisa and Felix, unless something pops up first!
