Adam and Kat's UK adventure: sparkly pants

This weekend just gone I left Adam behind and headed off with the girls from work for a shopping weekend in Florence. It was my first time in Italy which was very exciting. We headed off at lunch on Friday, leaving a somewhat sulky boss behind. We filled the weekend quite easily with delicious meals, fantastic coffee, fancy cocktails, and plenty of shopping. We didn't go into a single tourist attraction the whole time, there wasn't time! But we did walk past a few.

Florence was full of bling and fur and shops where a bag cost more than the whole weekend (including shopping). We were staying 4 star (cheap package) but shopped at the markets. And shop we did. We had back pain by lunchtime from carrying all the leather goods and foods stuffs.

Me with a macchiato. mmmm. I rarely get them in the UK, so this was a highlight of the trip.

It had been quite cool on saturday, but sunday was sunny and warm. not quite warm enough to leave the coats behind, but warm enough to leave the jumpers, scarves, hats, gloves etc behind. Shops were shut on sunday, so we had a bit more wandering time.
