Day 11 - Rome and Florence


Today we said goodbye to Rome, but had one last good walk around before we headed out. We walked past the Castle of Saint Angelo again with the intention of going in but by the time we got over there we did not have enough time to make it worth the money. We bought some more old map prints for Ian from a street vendor and returned to the same café near the Spanish steps where we had dinner last night to try the pizza for lunch.

We headed over to Termini station to catch our train to Florence around 1pm and all went as planned. We met up with Deb’s (Ian’s mom) cousin Lisie outside of the train station and walked to their home across the Arno and through much of the old part of Florence. We chatted with her for a while and then Fabrizio prepared a delicious four-course dinner of local seasonal dishes for us to enjoy and we had a very relaxing evening. Not too many photos today, so here are a few good ones from previous days. Goodnight!
