We are currently staying at a really nice campground on the mainland near Venice. The internet here is 3 euro for 30 minutes (yikes!) so we are going to give a very brief update. We promise a much more excited and detailed post once we are in Bern in a few days. Since our last post, we have visited Florence and Rome, and made our way by train to Venice.
In Florence, we were exhausted from our hiking in the Cinque Terre so we used the two days there to restore our energy. Luckily, the bed and breakfast we stayed at was incredible so we had a very relaxing stay. The city itself was not at the top of our list of places visited thus far. Our initial impression was that the city was dirty, smelly, and not well kept. However, there was of course a great deal of history there and many sites to see. Our two favorites were visiting the Duomo and the famous bridge (can't remember the name) filled with small jewelry shops. Uh-oh... running out of time! More to come on Florence, Rome, and Venice (including a near international incident with an angry bus boy!)!!
Ciao!
