Buon Giorno!

We had to stop at an Internet cafe to print out our ticket voucher to the Uffizi gallery. I still have 4 minutes on the ten minute slot one Euro buys, soo...

OK, European keyboards are weird.

So... flights were on time, all was well, then there was an unexpected 1 hr bus ride from Malpensa Airport to Milan, so we missed our train, next one was an hour later. Took a cab hoping to make Rufino in time to meet our ride, but he had left. Sweet sweet cabbie turned off the meter after the second hotel was closed and drove us halfway back to Florence til we found a simple little one star place with a shared bathroom in Pontassieve. We got in touch with the travel guy the next morning and it turned out the number I had for him which I thought was his work number was his cell and we could have called at any time. Geez.

Well, it was an adventure!

The place is lovely and we have pictures, although I forgot the cable that would let me download them. We are in Florence today and will do the museum thing.

Well, the timer is counting down from 40 seconds so I had better hit send
