Florence
From 'My life in Melbourne' in Florence, Italy on Jul 24 '07
Sorry, I havent added anything for a few days. I have been quite busy & it can be a bit difficult using the net for too long when staying in a hostel. So I spent the first 3 nights in Rome, which is a beautiful city but I was so lonely there. I stayed in a hotel which was really nice and only a block from the Colleseum but I had no chance of meeting anyone & it was ridiculously depressing. So I moved on to Florence & spent 3 nights at a really cool hostel near the city centre. Met some fantastic people, mainly from Canada, Australia, England & America. I was constantly out exploring & eating with all different people.
Florence is a great little city but I definately dont think I could live there. It is way to over crowded with tourists & the heat is ridiculous, got close to 40 degrees most days I was there.
I am now in Switzerland with one of the English guys that a met in Florence (just a friend of course - Mike trusts me). We arrived last night & I am overwhelmed by the beauty of this country. Anyways the attached photos are from Florence & the next blog is about Switzerland, which will have some gorgeous photos that really dont do the country justice but you will get a rough idea. Gotta go now, love you all. Will try to add some Swiss photos tomoz xo
