Tents Over Florence

On our way to Florence we met some travelers that booked a night in a campground. It sounded cheap and like a nice change of pace. We followed along until we arrived at Piazze Michelangelo, then walked 5 minutes to the site.

Less a campground than a camping resort, the place is a jem. Had we brought our RV we'd have stayed in that but instead opted for a canvas tent on a platform with bunkbeds. We dropped our stuff and checked out the market, bar and ammenities. Not only is it clean, but the patio on the bar overlooks the entire city; the duomo itself seems to sit no further than a spit away. We sat there last night eating prosciutto di parma, pecorino and bargain chianti (maybe more than one bottle.) all from the on-site market. Good stuff.

More site-seeing tomorrow.
