In the morning we drove the car to Rome Termini station and got a train to Florence. We're struggling with two opposing priorities now. We're both getting pretty tired of sightseeing and want a break. However time is running out on Yanmei's visa, so paradoxically we're trying to squeeze more stuff in. Florence wasn't in our original plan, but we added it. It is only 1.5 hours from Rome by high speed train.
We got to Florence and I had booked a room at a small hotel near the train station. It was overcast, but fortunately the rain stopped before we arrived.
After we checked in we walked around the city.
