EURO TOUR: DAY 3 - FLORENCE, ITALY
Day 3. Florence, Italy

It was our last day in Rome, after a quick brekky we boarded Frecciarossa, the fastest bullet train in Italy  to Florence. Just took us no more than an hour to get there. SIL and I were just a little stressed over being harped by his hubby as we did a little detour doing shopping at one of SIL's fave shop. But it was me who did all the shopping hehe. His hubby has this thing about being extremely early. It was Mother's Day and the train company were giving out single-stemmed red rose, I got a couple, felt extremely special as Hermione handed those to me.

Rain welcomed us in this beautiful city of Italy that was once the capital of Italy. Our hotel  was nice and homey being a family-run hotel.  After taking a little rest, we wasted no time and went to grab a late lunch at McDonalds and went straight to Palazzio Veccio Museum, and Catedrale Di Sta. Maria Di Fiore by foot as these were just 5-minute walk from our hotel, with lots of shops to see on the way there. 
Its so marvelous! We also sat down the plaza and get ourselves entertained by musicians - so Italy!

Then I got a chance to check on some Chanel bags at the nearby store but found nothing to WOW me. We decided to have  dinner at one of the Italian Resto nearby Catedrale Di Sta. Maria and I regret dining there as it was pricey and the food was just so-so, nothing special. Since we were not happy with the food, we stopped by at one of the little nook there and had another round of dinner. This time we were quite happy as we get to ordered roasted pork and had some gelato and cappuccino  I swore not to eat again at those fancy resto as it can be frustrating at times.

We headed back to the hotel a bit earlier to rest and do some chitchatting.

Tip: Do try small resto over classy ones, great ambiance may not equate to great food.
