Florence from up a hill
so yes I went to Italy one weekend in March. I visited my friend who is in Bologna for Erasmus. It was very lovely. I was amazed by the beauty....
We met and spent the first day in Florence. It is a beautiful city, can't deny. The churches have interesting white exterior. But everything is soooo touristic that it is not nice anymore...
We came back to Bologna the same evening and spent the next day walking around the city, relaxing in a beautiful park and looking for a supermarket that would be open on Sunday :))) in the evening we cooked some grated potatoes with mushroom sauce as a Lithuanian speciality. It was highly approved and praised :)
That was a great weekend - I did enjoy the country. The Italian ice-cream is really as good as they say. I have met one of the most freaky people ever. The nature seems to be beautiful (even though I have not really been there). And, seriously, for some reason Bologna seemed to be more appealing than Paris :) maybe because of cheerful, colourful houses or calm, cozy rhythm that was opposing the always busy London.
The first thing to catch my eye on my arrival at Bologna station - +22 in mid March.
[This weather came to London few days after that]
