Gallivanting In Granada: Florence

We checked in to our hostel, Alex House, that evening and we walked around for a bit, then went to a club called Space to celebrate one of our friends birthdays. We mostly spent the entire night running away form creepy italian guys. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone.

The next day we went to gusto leo pizza and watched them make our pizzas right in front of us! They were great!

We ate them while we were in line at Galleria dell'Accademia to see the statue of David by Michel Angelo. We got there during lunch time, which was perfect because there wasnt too long of a line. Maybe 15 or 20 min. I know other people who waited for 3 hours to get in! We definitely lucked out!

Afterwards we walked around the city and got coffee and sat out in the sun by the river. One thing that was weird about italy is that they charged more to sit inside to drink the coffee. If you just order it to go, its usually like 2 euros cheaper.

That night we went to watch the sunset. We sat on steps that were high up and we got a great view of the city!

The rest of our time there was just filled with more sight seeing, and eating pizza and pasta! There was an outdoor leather market which had a ton of great purses but due to RyanAirs STRICT policy on only bringing one carry on (including a purse) I didnt even have the option of buying one. That was probably a good thing in the end, considering they weren't exactly cheap...
We tried to go to boboli gardens on monday but unfortunately they were closed that day! So we just had our picnic in a plaza instead. We all bought cute sunglasses from an African and only paid 3.50 each!
