21 August Florence

The Resort is just lovely and I have a spacious suite, very reasonably priced. It’s about 45 minutes out of Florence. I've already forgotten what traffic is - we're way out in the country. That mini van driver flies around cobbled, narrow streets!

We had pizza delivered for dinner last night because the dining room isn’t open Sundays. Surprisingly, I had no trouble staying awake and then at 10.00pm, my brain simply stopped working so I hopped into the king size (possibly a little too firm) bed. They were partying next door but as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out to it and didn’t wake all night. Unfortunately, I miscalculated my alarm time. We’re being collected at 6.45am to head for Assisi and my alarm went off at 4.10 instead of 5.10. Not a problem though because it took me a while to get moving. So it’s 6.00am and I’m going round for breakfast and a good coffee!
