I woke up early the morning, downed some coffee (sad to say it is getting necessary to jumpstart my day and get me moving at a fast pace… it has antioxidants though, so I’ll just go with that) and got to packing! Late last night I cleaned part of the apartment so that I could easily pack this morning.
Originally I had thought that I would go to Bologna for the day and stay in a hostel over night and then catch my plane out the following morning, but after packing I was able to focus and sort things out more and realized that there wasn’t really a great option of places to stay in Bologna. I saw online that there was an early morning train out of Florence to Bologna that I could take an then grab a taxi to the airport, so I opted for that option—less variables and no sketchy hotels/ hostels by myself.
Once I got figured some stuff out, I realized I had a whole extra day in Florence! I bought my train ticket for tomorrow morning, then met up with some friends to go to lunch (I should find out what it’s called, it was one of Rick Steve’s suggestions). I got the last thing I really wanted to try—the Florentine steak! A bit of a splurge, but it was my last day… my real last day this time and I decided it was a necessity. It was sooo good, totally worth it!
We then walked around the city, I said good by the the Arno and the overly crowded Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and all of Florence. Well, it’s been fun here… I won’t miss the mosquitoes (and questionable bed bug), or crowds, so here’s to Austria! Let the new adventures of Kelsey and I begin!!!
