We met at the train station in Interlaken at 8:45 after a small breakfast. We had three trains to take, with two substantial layovers in between each stop. Mostly we just slept, did homework, and listened to music. Our stop in Milan was sketchy. You could see pickpockets, or maybe just shady people, looking for unsuspecting people. A lot of people asked for money and some girls that went outside the station received some cat calls even though guys were with them.
The train station in Florence was much nicer and less sketchy. Americans were everywhere. The exit shot us right out in front of the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella. Our hotel was beautiful, and it was the first three star hotel on the trip. Apparently, it costs 300 euros per night, but since we have been coming for so many years, we got a great deal and just as nice of rooms. We took a break for a while but soon went in search of dinner.
The restaurant we happened upon had great prices, and the food was the best of the trip so far. I had the best pizza of my life. We went next door for some gelato that was just the best ever. We headed back and hung out on the balcony of one of the rooms that overlooked the roofs of the town.
