Florence or Firenze to the locals - aka Gastronomic HEAVEN !
      Hi all.  I have posted you all replies back to your comments at the last post(s), so make sure you go back & check them out - they are ALL very special.
We are in Florence or Firenze (Italian) at the moment. Has been really difficult both finding an internet connection & the time to post - so apologise for that.
I have much to write but we are at yet the end of another EXHAUSTING yet AWESOME day. It is 11.40pm here & we are really tired so I promise to post either tomorrow or the next day.
We are going to a small place out of Florence tomorrow at Damian & Kaz's recommendation. We have done the city to death on foot, so will see a bit of the countryside tomorrow. We then leave for Rome on Saturday morning.
The food here is just BEYOND, we are in gastronomic heaven, I have nothing back home to even slightly compare it to. We thought France was good but this is just the best.......... even though 1 Euro = 2 AUD we just can't skimp. As an example, 2 coffees & 1 slice of Apple Pie today cost 13 Euro which is 26.00 AUD. As you can imagine, it is KILLING us but, what do you do - well you certainly can't sit by & watch everone else eat even if you won't eat for a year upon your return home....
Gotta go now - post soon
Love you & miss you all x
