Florence - Day 2

Day 2 - After having very little sleep due to the lack of air conditioning, we stumbled out of bed down to breakfast and discussed what we'd be doing today. 

We first of all headed off to the Medici Chapel, where we sketched and jotted down what we saw (as we were unable to take photos). Just before lunch we visited the St Maria Novella, which is a cathedral hosting the first recorded painting to use perspective.

After our visit to the St Maria Novella we were sent off on our own to look around the shops and have some lunch. We came across the 'expensive' district with shops such as Louis Vuitton, Mui Mui and Gucci. 

  For lunch we stopped off at a small cafe near our hotel to have a panini and a lemon soda. The afternoon consisted of visiting the Bargello Museum and relaxing by our hotel.

In the evening we went on another evening walk to the Ponte Veccio as a group, then went off to dinner at our own leisure 

Outfit of the evening:

Top - Vintage (borrowed)

Shorts - Beyond Retro

Sandals - Urban Outfitters

For dinner the three of us and another group of girls decided to have dinner at a very elegant looking restaurant. After opening the menu we discovered why it looked so nice... it was a little overpriced (55 euros for a small steak). Luckily the pasta wasn't too expensive so i decided to have my first Lasagne which was quite possibly the nicest Lasagne i've EVER had. 










The other girls had pasta and sandwiches, trying to stick to a budget! All of the dishes were made with home-made pasta. Fortunately we got 20% off our meal for being students...
