Back to the Schoolroom...again!

Ciao! Emma and I have arrived in Florence yesterday and the city is lovely! The main attraction of the city is "the Duomo" which is a massive church in the centre of the city. It's absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to go inside!

The Duomo, in Florence

Emma and I arrived at our apartment which is owned by the nicest guy! The apartment, while in an old building, has been almost completely renovated! We're the first people to use it! Most of the new furniture and kitchen is from IKEA with the tags still on! (Co-incidentally, we are also due to have a Sweedish couple move in with us next week, both of which we've met and they too are lovely!)

We spent some time walking around and orienting ourselves to this new city, and had dinner in a lovely little street corner Cafe. Too bad for me, my risotto gorgonzola with raddichio was TERRIBLE!

Today we started Italian school. I think that it's definately going to be a steep learning curve. Our first tutor, (whose name is also Daniel) brays like a horse when laughing, so at least his class is entertaining! Emma and I are now off to buy some stationery supplies as we were completely unprepared for school today. (Everyone else had coloured pens and highlighters!) We even had to "borrow" paper from a Canadian student!

Hope all's well in lil' old Adelaide...! Ciao!
