Firenze!

Bongiorno!! The other day I forgot to mention that Dave and I climbed the 550 stairs to the top of St. Peters. It was an amazing view!!! (And a workout!). It was great. I forgot something else too but I can't remember that right now either haha.
So yesterday we arived in Florence a little later then we had planned but it wasn't a big deal since we didn't have to pay for a reservation and it was nice to sit and chill for a while. We didn't make a reservation in a hostel but had a list of ones to go to...this didn't work...we walked around for ages and everything was booked..mwe finally got a list from the Info center, met an Aussie guy there in the same situation as us so he came along too and we went to the closest hostel on the list- booked. The next 1 had 1 bed so wee let the Aussie dude take it and the guy there said to try upstairs. Went upstairs and she had 2 beds left in this beautiful hostel, she showed us the rooms before we even said yes and she was just pretty much great!! This place is luxury!! Albergo Paola...I recomend it to everyone!! Its super clean, really bright and colorful and it smells amazing! There are huge closet lockers for everyone and then a small bedside locker too!! Everyone gets a key to the front door, the entry door to the hostel and the door to their room and lockers!
Anyways, yesterday after we got here we went and wandered around town, then Anneka's friend Jocelyn called so we met with her and went to get tickets to Uffitzi Gallery but we couldn't so we are going to have to go and wait in line today...We split from Jocelyn but arranged a tome to meet her later, wandered around some more, went back to the hostel, got changed and walked over to Jocelyn's place. Went to eat dinner then bought a couple of beers and went back to her place. Hung out for a while then went out to the bars. We had tons of fun at a couple of different bars, I think I only took 1 picture though which is weird for me, but oh well. It poured with rain the entire night so the walk home was not fun and my clothes are still soaked. Jocelyn is going to Cinque Terre today until Sunday so we're hopefully going to meet up with her there...good times.
Alright well I'm going to go see if Dave is awake (we're in seperate rooms..although maybe ill be able to switch now).
Ciao ciao.
