To Florence

After a spurt of spontaneity, we decided to leave Venice a day early and visit Florence on our way to Rome.... not in our original plans.....We jumped on a train and turned up in Florence a few hours later...it was a stinking hot day, and we were glad to have our towels still wet from our morning showers!!


Florence turned out to be one of the best campspots...we had the most massive block for our little tent, and camped next to a lovely Dutch couple who lent us their mallet, electricity and bus tickets..... We were close to the toilets (a rarity for tenters...normally we are out in the sticks and the long trip to the toilet in the dead of night is like going to the dentist.) We had a resort pool, mostly to ourselves, a small market and even a football pitch.
