Emailing and blogging haven't been a major priority as you may have guessed in the last week but now that we've found our feet here we can spare a few moments to fill in the gaps!
Florence was a truly beautiful city and one that I would definately recommend to anyone, though be prepared to open your wallet as it can be expensive! It's also a good base for making excursions into the rest of Tuscany should you be so inclined. We went to Siena for the day and San Gimignano both places were really interesting and steeped in history. We enjoyed the trip. We also went to Pisa which was a bit of a swizz to be honest but the bus journey through the Tuscan countryside was well worth it. And we saw the famous Leaning Tower!
We're now currently in Athens. Compared to Italy, Greece seems less sophistacated, and also less expensive. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's charms! The food here is just gorgeous and good for you! I'm loving it!
Also the archaeology is astounding and it's awe inspiring to be able to stand before these iconic buildings that for me have only ever before existed in between the cover of books. I feel so lucky.
