DAY 30 : 14 December 2014
Today was our final day in the beautiful city of Florence!
We had the same delicious breakfast as yesterday, and had a checkout time of 11, when we left our bags and headed back into the city as a group. We got to see the real statue of David in our visit to another museum, which was interesting...
Afterwards, the group split up and we got to go do our own things, we chose to get some gelato! here's a photo of my pistachio, mocha, and tiramisu gelato scoops!
Eventually, one by one all the exchange students split up and headed to the train station to go home, but as mine and Nat's train wasn't until the evening, we had plenty of time to wander around, and get a yummy Lindt Hot Chocolate!
At 5pm, we went to the train station with Oskar from Finland and Tomoko from Japan, and just hung around until our trains at 6:30.
Half way through our train trip, the train stopped in the middle of nowhere and we were told that someone had committed suicide by jumping in front of, not our train, but the train in front of ours, and we would be delayed significantly. So an hour and a half later we were on our way again, and finally made it home by midnight.
Going to Florence with the exchange company was just an amazing weekend, it was great to meet so many people from so many different countries, and we always had something to chat about of find out about!
And the scenery in Florence wasn't too bad itself...
Love,
Jen
