Ribollita, my starter at lunch. This was very good.

14:02:11
Chie and her starter.

14:20:36
My main course, a sort of aubergine gratin. This was tasty but a bit on the small side.

14:20:43
Chie and her main course.

Outside where we had lunch - Sosta dei Cavalieri.

14:43:06
I think we actually meant to go here instead - just across the road - I have a feeling they're both ran by the same people though.

14:44:55
Heading to the leaning tower...

14:56:32
...and there it is - Erika woke up just in time. So of course we had to take the obligatory touristy picture.

I wish I had taken off my hat for these pictures, the brim looks a bit silly.

...and here we are on arrival at the station in Florence.

19:06:16
At Lorenzo's house, playing with his two new kittens.

19:06:26
Erika was utterly fixated by the kittens while we were here.

19:06:51
...although a little bit wary of them to begin with...

20:34:41
Dinner at La Casa del Prosciutto, a place up in the hills above Florence. Erika insisted we all tuck in our napkins for this picture.

20:38:53
My bruschetta. Quite tasty. Forgot to take a picture of my main course.

22:23:22
Attempt to take a picture outside the restaurant which didn't really work.
