Home sweet home


Hello dear dear readers!

I am back in the big L after a few lovely days in Florence 
and Tuscany. We flew out in Thursday evening after I had 
my training assessment and fitness test. The result I have 
had for these three months are amazing and strength is really 
starting to kick in :)

Anyway.... Florence... Lovely city with great food and amazing 
hospitality. We stayed at Hotel David - great value for money 
and cozy clean rooms with lots of freebies like wifi, 10 min calls 
every day, aperitif with snacks and great breakfast.

We saw the sites, walked around, had loads of yummie ice-cream 
(chocolate sorbet and vanilla soya were THE best and all dairy free), 
and just had a great time. On Saturday we picked up our rental car 
and headed for the country side. An hour outside of Florence we 
checked in at quirky little boutique hotel (called 7047). The owners 
had really gone a bit berserk on the interior design and sometimes 
too much of the good stuff can actually be too much. But with 
lovely hosts, free lunch with all kinds of cheese, cut meats and 
salad and a beautiful breakfast there is nothing to complain about :)

In the evening we drove on to the little Osteria in Badia di Passignano 
for a tour of the vineyards and cellar and one of the most memorable 
evening of my life. The wines we drank, the food and the atmosphere.... 
I just wanted to stop time!!!!!!

Sunday was chill day and we walked around the pretty little town 
where we stayed - San Miniato. In the evening another lovely dinner 
and then we slept like two little angels.

Today we have mostly been traveling. First the drive back from 
San Miniato to Florence and then the flight and train ride back to 
our beloved flat. After all this is our home and there is no Tuscan 
hill that can beat that!

Lots of love
