Hi again all! Just a quick update. Not much has changed in the last week or so! Emma and I are continuing our scholarly pursuits (which includes studying endless amounts of verbs!) as well as our culturally enriching pursuits (which includes museums and shows!). Tonight we're going to a performance of Cats in the Boboli Gardens here in Florence. Apparently the show is finishing it's run soon (after something like 20 years) so it's now or never for me!
Emma spent last weekend in Sardegnia (an island off the coast). Margarita and I went on a day trip to Venice. We managed to see inside the Basilica di Sant Marco (which Emma and I missed last time) and it was fantastic. The floor undulated in waves, apparently after centuries of tidal shifts. I went back to my favourite bookstore and bought up big (yes!). Margarita and I almost missed our train however! In a moment of dejà vu we got lost and had to catch a water taxi to the train station to make it on time! (Exactly the same thing happened to Emma and I in Venice!) If I'd been even a minute longer in the bookstore, we would've missed our train!
This weekend we have a HUGELY busy schedule planned. Tomorrow we're going to Lucca, a nearby town which has an incredible reputation as a beautiful Italian village. Friday we've booked into the Uffizi which is potentially the most famous museum in Italy with lots of important works particularly from the renaissance. Saturday we're planning to visit a nearby Mall, yes I know, but this one is like a Harbourtown with ONLY the major designer labels. On Sunday, will spend the day relaxing in the Bobili Gardens and visiting the Palazzo Piti (another museum!) AHHH!! I'm tired just thinking about it!
In addition to this, I've now booked my flights to Prague and Paris, the two cities I'll visit before returning to London and then flying home! Time is running away from me.. I can't believe I've been here for over 6 weeks!
