We woke up to heavy rain and claps of thunder. Deb's in the shower and the lights go out, then water starts pouring in under the door. As I go downstairs to reset the tripped breaker, water starts pouring down the stairs. Nothing seems to be horribly damaged. We are heading to Florence to meet the kids...the ferry seems like a poor idea, so we get a taxi (€110). Once in Florence, we have the direction to the apartment...it's sort of an Amazing Race experience...find a McDonalds, go straight for 100 meters, in the square take the alley to the left...find a number 34 under a portico. It all worked and we are still in the race.
Florence has a specialty beef, made from the smaller section of a T-bone steak. We ate dinner in a restaurant that had the speciality, but the smallest order was 24oz, which you split...we would need more people.
Off to the airport to get the kids...back to the apartment...they are on their 30th hour of travel and only want a shower and a bed.
