Italy Road trip part 1

First few days of trip going well :) I arrived in Rome on Sunday where I joined my friends who had already been there for a few days. Went to see the fountain at night but didn't have a penny to throw over my shoulder!

Next day spent the morning in Rome then got a train to Florence. I can't believe how big the Termini train station was - over 30 platforms about 10 min walk from one end to other! Tryst us to go to wrong platform! We then ran with all our baggage & ended up missing it! O well we had to pay a bit to change our tickets but made it to Florence late Mon afternoon. Went out for dinner that night & drank just a little bit too much wine lol! We all suffered a little bit this morning but had a good night. Today we started with a walking tour of the city and then continued ourselves. We walked up the hill to the Michealangelo Piazza statue at miday, very bad idea in this heat! The afternoon we wondered around the city & then went up the bell tower - 413 steps & no lift ;) views were totally worth it though! Few pics -










First thing tomorrow morning we are heading to Pisa & then hiring the car to drive to Lake Garda :-)
