We had a marvellus dinner last night at a little restaurant near our hotel. The best meal yet. We 40 people split up into three different restaurants all paid as part of the tour. We had both red wine, white wine and water at our table. We were then served four different kinds of bruschetta..mushroom, tomato, white bean and plain garlic/olive oil. Then two different kinds of pasta...one with spicy tomato sauce, and the other a filled small round pasta, which I had never seen before, then roast pork with gravy and peas and then french fries and chicken. Well, we were all stuffed but chicken was as delightful as the roast pork. Then, tiramisu. Wow'. I waddled out of there and had to go to bed to digest and naturally wakened early, as usual.
Our hotel room is very pretty with inlaid wood flooring in an interesting chevron pattern. Headboard is carved ornate wood. Bathroom is attractive marble. Not as many mirrors as in previous hotels, thank heavens! Today we will visit the Accademia and see David in all his splendour and then a walking tour of Florence. We are on our own for both lunch and dinner today. Perhaps I could coast on yesterday...unlikely!
