17 February Wednesday:
Had a lot to cover for Florence so YL and I started out really early with the climb up to Piazza Michelangelo. We asked for the B&B breakfast at 8 which consisted of chocolate croissants, biscottino, fruit juice and cappuccino (very Italian!). Then we walked to the Piazza which took us about 40 min maybe?? The climb was much shorter than the last time somehow I think we took a longer route that time zzz but phew! Good morning exercise haha. View wasn't as great as it was quite cloudy and started drizzling a bit when we left.
We started walking down about 10am (thank goodness for the early start!) and the restaurant that we wanted to go to only opens at 12 so we went to the Piazza della Repubblica area to see. Went to a few other stores too. Ended up at la Rinascente because we wanted to use the toilet LOL then ended up shopping there hahaha. Went for lunch at Trattoria Casalinga again at 12 and the food was not bad but service was really slow ... The tiramisu was really good so I had 1.5 servings HAHA YL and I shared one first then I really wanted another one. We also ordered a steak but it wasn't really cooked very well like the cooking was quite uneven ... Needed the dessert to wash down the meaty taste LOL I guess I'm not a fan of steak!!
After lunch we went to see the Basilica while waiting for Brandy to open at 3.30 hahaha. It was drizzling by then so quite annoying sigh I have never seen Florence without rain even Rome didn't disappoint. Went to Brandy after that where we spent a really long time LOL I got so much stuff cause of the sale rack!!! Then came out just as the sun was setting and caught an amazing sunset hehehe.
We went back to the B&B to drop off our shopping then went out for dinner at ZàZà where we'd made a reservation the day before. Omg they had the BEST BREAD EVER it tasted like fried bread but was so soft I freaking love it!! Ordered chicken with rosemary potatoes cause I was getting a bit tired of pasta and pizza and it was really good too. Also had more tiramisu for dessert while YL got a cheesecake. All in all I can understand the rage haha it was really quite good would go back again!
Went back to the B&B after that to rest since I had a bus at 5am to catch the net morning but thankfully the B&B was really near the bus stop. The B&B that was stayed at is called Bed & Bed Peterson and it was really nice! There's only about 3 rooms but each room had like a different theme and ours was the fish room so all the deco were fish-related HAHA. The room next to ours was a love theme so they had a heart-shaped signboard hahaha. There was also cake and coffee in the lobby area hehehe and the lady was so nice! I was also able to take food with me cause of the 5am bus heh would totes go back again!!
