Florence

After Rome we went to Florence, which I think was a let down for both of us. Florence has always seemed very touristy to me.

The architecture is nice, but I like Rome more. There are tons of stands to buy leather jackets and purses, and the Moroccan guys running them will try to drag you back into their stores. I can usually get a good deal bargaining in French with them, but there’s still always a bit of shadiness that I just don't like about the place.

It rained one morning, so we spent it in our hotel lobby booking the rest of our trip for after leaving Oxford. We decided to go to Copenhagen (I'm actually writing this on the flight there), Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, and then to spend a few days really exploring London before going home.
