Siena; Friday, 26 September, 2014

I didn’t bother with breakfast in the hotel, instead checking out then a few minutes later checking in for the flight and hitting breakfast in the terminal.

After a little glitch with the flight information- for a while the screens just displayed Go to Gate with no actual information as to which gate it was – everyone made it to the plane and five minutes before scheduled departure time the plane was already pushing back and heading towards Pisa.

Arriving a couple of minutes early ended up being a pain as there was no chance we were going to make the earlier bus into Florence, so instead just had to wait for the best part of 50 minutes for the next bus, which was then promptly 25 minutes late.

A quick hop from the station in Florence over to the hotel to check in, and then out into the city centre for an early evening wander, a quick pre-dinner drink in the main square and then a very nice dinner in a restaurant overlooking the Neptune fountain.

A lovely Italian Ice cream finished off the evening and then it was back to the hotel for another stunning night’s sleep.
