And they worked all night- 28 February

Monday

Today was the start of our last week here in Florence and at school. I think we will both miss being here and going to school. We have met some lovely people and will try and make the most of this week.

So after school today we went and visited a lovely church. It had some lovely frescos and some paintings. The guide is always the same her name is Sasha and she takes us to these awesome places every couple of days.







I really like this painting it is quite lovely. After here we had to rush home as Brett was in the middle of cooking tea. However we had organised to meet up with the gang after dinner to go to an concert where they were singing famous arias from some famous operas.

So we went along and well were were the only 4 people there (yes that was us). We sat in the front row. She was really good (you know i am an expert now) and we enjoyed it but it was a bit uncomfortable just having the 4 of us. Being our last week we are trying to make the most of it and well we went out for a drink afterwards. Here is the view of the Ponte Vecchio at night after 10:30pm on our way to the irish pub.





We found another irish pub (brian is irish so it was fitting) and had a drink. The pub has the view of the Piazza Signora and the Palazzo Vecchio. What a great view. However after a while we ha to go inside as it was getting to cold.



I don't think we could fit more in if we tried (well maybe we could but that would mean not doing our homework and well that is the reason we are here). We got home after midnight and went to bed which is why there was no blog.

SIDE NOTE
As a side note they have started working on the street beside us and well in Australia they would have to finish work at 7pm. Here however they kept breaking up and drilling the concrete all bloody night. Yes we got home after midnight and they were still going. I woke about 3am and they were still going. What all of a sudden they are conscious of how much they need to get done and decided that they should work all night.

Really people do you not realise people are trying to sleep. Lucky I was tied and I slept really well. On the brighter side with this much noise we couldnt here the drunk people.

Until tomorrow, from us here in paradise. good night.


Love Monique, Brett, Marty, Kiwi and Hooter
