Day 204 - Next time buy the tickets earlier

Venice to Florence - Locanda de Firenze

We headed straight to the train station to catch a train to Florence but stupidly hadn't thought to buy the ticket the day before, so as the train was booked out we had to wait two hours for the next one. We used the morning for one last walk around Venice, taking special care not to get lost this time.

Eventually we made it to Florence and checked into our hotel where the girl behind the desk said "you must be here visiting relatives" - she recognised M's surname as being from a nearby area.

It was still very hot, so waited until the early evening to do some exploration, wandering into an old church along the way and also visiting some of the piazzas.
