We were so reluctant to leave our wonderful Florence apartment that we didn’t even pack until the last minute. We left right at 11:00, the stated check-out time. At check-out we met Robert, who is half owner of the building, and let him know how much we loved the place. In return for the compliment he let us keep our network cable for free - haha! Robert also called a taxi for us to go pick up our rental car.
As the taxi whisked us away, we had a last look at the Palazzo Vecchio and hoped it wouldn’t be another ten years before we go back.
Our rental car is from Avis. Again, we didn’t get the car we expected, although this time it turned out better. We had expected a Fiat Grande Punto, but instead got an Alfa Romeo 147 - a sporty little hatchback. It is a turbo diesel, so although the gas mileage probably isn’t so good, Kevin is having fun driving it. And it is more comfortable than the Mercedes was, go figure.
