Florence is Pretty, Terribly.

The 2nd last city on my Europe 30 days travels, Florence was a destination where i really had time for myself, to sit in the hostel and watch aircrash videos without having to worry about lack of time or the incessant need to prepare for the day. 5 days to cover Florence was an awfully long period thus the bigger rest time. By then I was quite ready to head back to Sunny Singapore and it was already 6 months since I left home for USA and Europe.

Nonetheless, I soaked up quite a bit of atmosphere in Florence that gave me a gaping lecture on renaissance beauty and the aura it exudes. The food was great, as I indulged in pizza and foccacia for most of my meals and even tried rabbit’s meat. The most extravagant dining came here as well as I sat in one of my favourite restaurant, munching on rabbit and a full course meal with per person tax . Oh wells, pizza was also memorable as I bought take away and had it either in the hostel while catching World Cup actions or sitting along the slopes of Piazza Pitti having my meals and watching the crowd go by. I also caught the most dramatic soccer match of the 3rd-4th placing for the World Cup at the Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the entire city of Florence with a crowd that went wild with all the action. Alas and most importantly, the sights of Florence were the final icing on the cake and I was ready to make my way home after a satisfying 6 months away.
