I thought of that while riding my bicycle.

Florence

Sight seeing and sleeping. 

In the morning we took a short tour of the city by bus, picking out places to see later. We stopped for lunch at a 'self service' cafeteria with the most bizarre system. They put your order on a tray but then you couldn't take it to your table, a waiter did. The delay in paying meant customers staring longingly at their cool drink but being told off for taking it, even after they'd paid. There were rows. 

After a trip to the pharmacist to get something for my ever extending mosquito bites, I made the executive decision to go back to the hotel for an afternoon nap, leaving Steve to explore on his own for a bit. 

In the evening we took the bus tour up into the Tuscan hills to Fiesole. Having earlier found a Baedeker in the book shop and staying in the Bertolini hotel I'm coming over all Room With a View. 

We finished the day in a small cafe drinking wine by the jug, reading books.
