Today we woke up and had our "complimentary breakfast", a hard roll and a juice box, not nearly as nice as the hostel in Amsterdam. We went with our new friends, Kate and James, into Florence to explore. We started at the Duomo and Bptistry in front of it. It is a mammoth church and absolutely breathtaking! From there we walked to the Museum Academia and saw Michelangelo's statue of David. Quite a site. We had a great focaccia sandwich for lunch and then walked down to the Ponte Vecchio. Photo ops galore. It was really romantic. From there we went to get some gelatto-italian ice cream from heaven- and then took some more photos on the bridge. We went back to the hostel and talked until 1am with James and Kate. They are super cool people. They said we should come down to Australia to visit them. I guess we will start saving for that trip when we get back:) hehe
