Florencia, a lot of little flee market, people nice, David so...
From A trip around Europe in Florence, Italy on Oct 04 '06
We arrived at FLorencia at 3pm and we were really hungry so we decided to go to thae Mc donalds to take away and to go to the hotel with it. We had a bit of difficulty to find it but finally when we arrived we were not disappointed. THe apartment (it was a guest house) was really cool. We had a big room with shower inside. The bed we had was the best bed i have ever had. 2m*2m. So ggod for two monster like Fran and me. We ate and we spoke a bit with the owner. Really nice guy who told us that he was in head of a big family. He told us where we could go. We went for a walk and I t was a nice city. Small and it ooked like a village more or less. THere was a lot of flee market (which was I think the main activity of the town). We started to hace a big problem. I could not take any money out because I rose the limit of my credit card. THe problem is that I had to wait two days to have the money again but we had to pay the hotel. So I call the bank to try to do something but it was not possible as my banker was not available. We told the nice owner that we were going to pay him tomorrow. He said ok. And we went to find for food (but we did not have a lot of money. We went to the supermarket to try to find something to eat and we bought a salad and something else (i dont remember) and we did not have anything else. We went back to the hotel and I started to wash the clothes (by hand Incredible). We had a really good night as it was a really good bed. And the first thing we did is that we went to the bank. But.... I it did not work and I could not have any money. I called my mother to tell her to call to the bank and to send me money. We went to another bank to try to have cash back. BUt it was not possible. We went to western union to have cash back and it did not work (I think it is becasue the girl did not know how the machine worked). It was a really stressful day because I did not know if I could pay or not. Fortunately at the end, my mother called me and she told me that she had put the money at western union. So I went to recuparate it. It cost us about 40€ for the comission but fortunately the bank called me after to tell me that they changed my credit card and I have more possibility to take miney per week. So everything was in order. At the same time on the morning we had a really good breakfast at the guest house. THe guy was serving the breakfast on the orning and was really helpful and nice. We went after to the center there wa sthe bridge and David and we went to a kind of colline where we could see all Florence. THe truth is that FLorencia is nice city a bit quiet but nise, but two days is enough. On the night as we had money we went to a reataurant to eat meat. I took for 1kg of meat. And it was not bad but a bit expensive for what it was. We went back to the hotel and the day after we had to go. We went for few hours to the flee market again to buy some souvenir and we took our luggage and we left Florencia for Venecia...
