Giangiacomo held an impromptu party last night at the hostel and we got seriously into his wine stock. It was fun to get to know a few of the other hostellers a bit more. We were up bright and early the next morning, had breakfast with Giangiacomo before walking 50 meters to the train station for our train to Milano at 08:44. Great hostel into which Giangiacomo infuses a warm family atmosphere. Our train to Milano involved a two hour wait in Firenze. So, we checked our knapsacks at the left luggage, and walked the ten minutes to the duomo for a quick visit. As fate would have it, however, the duomo was closed on Wednesday June 24th...that was the day we were there. Bad timing. Anyway, no big deal...we decided to walk over the Uffizi to see some of the copies of the statuary that they keep outside. Really great stuff. We also walked over to the Ponte Vecchio where a lot of gold and jewlery stores have congregated in dense population.
