Hi everyone,
How are you all? Good I do hope! Well I'm still in Florence, going to Milan tomorrow and then off to Berlin on Friday to start my Contiki trip which I am really looking forward too!! I've spent the last few days doing some more sightseeing around Florence and resting up!!
Today I went to the house where Dante was born which is of course now a museum! Yesterday we went into Santa Maria Novella, one of the big churches here in Florence and I must say, Santa Croce is still my favorite church here BUT Santa Maria Novella had such an amazing altar piece – it was simply spectacular. I don’t have photos of it because you can’t take photos inside, but when I find some I will post them for you.
Last night I took a cooking class which was lots of fun! We cooked lasagna from scratch including making the pasta which was quite fun. We also made asparagus flan which was not as horrible as I thought it might be and then some small biscotti type things which were yum yums.
I’ve also been to a museum with some of Da Vinci’s works in it which leads me right into the fact that tomorrow we (Meish, Sasha and I) are going to Milan to see the Last Supper which is super exciting!!
So I’ll post some photos of Meish and I’s adventure to Pisa to see the leaning tower the other day!
Hope alls well,
Love you all!!

This is the church and the famous leaning tower which you can now climb but you have to book 15 days in advance and so we didn't climb it!
Meish sad that we had to carry all our stuff back to the train station to get the train to florence to walk to her apartment (our bags were full of chocolate as we were on our way home from Belgium)
Meish and I...aren't we cute!!
