Florence part one

I labelled this part one to make sure I do another update before leaving here, as this will have to be quick. Sorry no photos, we haven't been able to download any for a while.
We arrived in Florence yesterday via busabout and really enjoyed the ride through the Tuscan countryside. It was every bit as beautiful as I'd imagined: rolling hills with crumbling earthy coloured farmhouse, feilds of golden coloured dirt with a single olive tree in the middle etc. Very easy to fall in love with. We went on a walking tour of Florence with the busabout group and had dinner with them, it was really nice to talk to some other people in english. They were mostly Aussies. We've ditched the busabouters for now though, cos they are staying in a camping ground ages out of Florence and we wanted to be closer. We're staying at a nice Hostel which has free internet (although its in high demand) and breakfast. Phil likes this one more, although we are missing our Italian friend from our room in our Rome hostel. It was nice having a 'local' (he was actually from Milan) to get an Italian perpective on stuff, plus he showed us some nice untouristy sites.
I've nearly used up my internet allocation for today, so more will follow sometime in the next few days.
