After we woke up, we rushed madly to have some breakfast and find alternate accommodation before we had to check out of where we were staying at 11:00. this was extremely miserable because of the steady cold drizzle/rain that didn't seem to want to stop at all.
Despite all the rushing and rain we had a really nice breakfast at a bar. I had a hot chocolate and a cheese, ham and lettuce wrap, which they toasted to the cheese was melted. The hot chocolate was really nice, in a never tried it before way. They do hot chocolates so much different in Italy. It could really be described as a hot chocolate syrup, it was so thick!!
We found accommodation in a really nice apartment which turned out cheaper than last nights. We were just settling in when Gemma looked out of the window and noticed id had just started snowing. We hurriedly ventured out into the snow and decided to buy some lunch and settled down for some delicious pasta.
After lunch we decided to have a look around and found a market in a square which was entirely devoted to chocolate. Some of the chocolate things were amazing like this:
ALL CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!
After looking through all the stalls and amazingly only spending 24 euro went to a Medieval Museum which was awesome. There were heaps of artifacts, church objects like statues and tapestries as well as lots of battle items (weapons, armor etc.) including some Saracen weapons and armor from the crusades.
After this, to say the least, action-packed day, we had a small, home-made dinner of pasta and sauce and are just settling down for the night.
We are going to Florence tomorrow via train and so hope the weather is nice (either sunny of snowing, but not rain).

Hey Alex,
ReplyDeleteSo you're in Italy now, make sure you pick up some good Italian phrases. Pizza and pasta, that is so fitting.
Florence should be good, it is apparently known for it's importance during medieval and renaissance times, due to wealth, trade, and such. It also has a nice name, "Florence".
You have seen snow before, haven't you? It is great of course.
That chocolate is really realistic. I actually thought the book was a large piece of white chocolate, like two blocks together.
Apparently Thomas has constricted himself to writing in Haiku, but I will tell you that he has seen HP 7 and liked it as well, so Scott will steadily be convinced of how good the movie was. Do not believe him, the movie is great! :)
Have more fun in Italy :)
Alexander
