You meet the nicest people in Launderettes! Today was laundry day as I was down to my last jocks and socks, we spent nearly two hours in the launderette close to our hotel. First we had to wait for a free washing machine, and then needed two drying cycles. We had a great conversation with Jill and Dave from Ohio while we waited. I write this because this was basically the most exciting thing that happened today!
Watching our clothes dry.
We set out from Gubbio a little early, and we agreed as a group that we would go directly to Florence because there was going to be a lot of rain. We stopped on the way at lake Trasimeno near Perugia for a delicious coffee and cake. At first the rain stayed away, but the further north we got, the light rain started. It was only towards the end of the ride that the heavens opened. At least my arse remained dry because I used the old stuff a big cloth (we used t-shirts) under your crotch trick. It absorbs the water and keeps your arse dry. A little water did get into though my suit, so I hung out on the shower to dry.
Hung out to dry.
We had a nice lunch in Trattoria Il Giardino near our hotel - I have begun to really like gnocchi. The service was slow, but the food was great and worth waiting for. Later we went to a sushi restaurant and took a short break from Italian food.
At Kikkomi sushi restaurant.
Tomorrow is a free day in Florence and we have a group tour booked for the morning. We can’t believe that we have just one day on the road left, the holiday is going so fast. But we have enjoyed so much so far.
