Dear Discount Shoppers,
You wouldn't credit it but our first day in Tuscany turns awful and it's dark, gloomy and threatening rain. Mind you, we really can't complain, this is our first mildly cold day. Our rainy day at Cinque Terra was extremely warm - almost tropical, so doesn't really count.
So we decided we better hit the shopping outlets about 30 mins out of Florence and just under an hour for us. Went to the first one but it was ridiculous! Dior, Gucch, Versace, the usual suspects and all pretty bloody horrible. They soooooo love bling here, it's on everything, even the car parts! The only decent stuff was Prada (darling) and some Armani - but you did have to be anorexic to fit into any of it!!!
So we headed to the next one- much better and they had great Bruno Maglio shoes - very nice and some great clothing shops with clothes that one could reasonably wear and not get arrested for being either a)a hooker or b) a drag queen or c) a WAG on Brownlow night.
Can someone in Melbourne do a search for me and see whether Bose has released a portable sound system no bigger that 30 cms long that wirelessly tunes into any Bluetooth phone, iPad, computer etc and plays the music contained on it. It's for sale here for 300€ and we can't find it in Melb to do a cost comparison! Can you let me know if you find it and if so for how much? We will be going back there to check out the bargains !!!!
We headed home for dinner with the other guests. A couple of Aussies, an English couple and us. We get back to find an American couple have just arrived - proves to be an interesting addition to the mix. They are allergic to everything diary and I have developed an immediate anaphylactic reaction to the bloke- this may get awkward. Dinner was lovely. Heading to Sienna tomorrow!
Ciao ciao
Kelly & Siobhan
