I arrived in Florence yesterday after 14 hours of flight and exhausting long transit hours in New Delhi andAmsterdam . It was kinda’ hectic to reach Plus Florence Hostel where I had my reservation. It was drizzling; dragging my luggage all the way, I was not sure if I was heading towards the right direction, though I had researched well enough on the internet. The only part I was paying full attention to was, I had to take the road next to McDonalds and keep walking straight.
Found out the place; it was a bit crowded as it’s meant for backpackers and I could see all the youngsters probably in their early twenties. Suddenly, I realized my stomach growling, demanding a heavy lunch and I even hadn’t had my dinner last night. I was freaking tired during my flight from New Delhi to Amsterdam and couldn’t wake up for the late night dinner on the flight.
So, I thought to go out and explore Florence for a while, eat something and get back to bed as early as I can. I was dying to get a good night sleep, 14hours flight!! zzzzzzzzzz
Oh! I must say… FIRENZE ( Florence ) is beautiful!!
This morning GVN sent a car to pick us up from the hostel. I later knew there was one more participant to the program who was staying in the same hostel. Ghosh! the funniest part was we were sitting next to each other at the lobby and we didn’t know that both of us were waiting for the same car.
We drove towards Tuscany approx 45 Kilometers from Florence where we’re gonna stay for this whole week. I was captivated by the breathtaking view all along the way. It was like in a movie; the vineyard, castles, churches and olive trees…amazing! I wish I were a millionaire, I could have own a property here.
We reached La Chiara Di Prumiano, our final point. oh! I don’t have words to describe the beauty of this villa. The villa owner #Antanio said that it’s four hundred and eleven years old…OMG!
We met GVN people and everyone was so welcoming. After taking a short walk around the farm, we had a great Italian lunch. Olives, cheese and olive oil, it’s a real treat!!!
XOXO
