After a 7 hour flight from Toronto, we are now in Paris, at the airport, waiting for our next flight to Florence, Italy. Other than showing our passports in Paris, there are NO other forms to complete and our luggage is sent straight through to Florence - Very Civilized, but again this France.
Our flight from Toronto was only half full, but the arriving flight from Paris had 400+ on board. Once our flight was loaded we left 10mins early, French don't waste any time.
After a two hour layover in Paris we are off to Florence, Italy on CityJet (owned by Air France), we arrive on time in the small airport in Florence, claim our bags and catch a taxi to the apartment that our Daugheter and Son-in-Law have rented. Just a note you do not go through any custom or passport control once you are inside the EU. The Europens would not put up with the nonsesen we face between Canada and the US.
Dinner in Florence on our first evening
We had our first evening dinner in a delightful stree side cafe in the heart of the Uffizi district.
** SPOT Note **
I decided not to take my SPOT Satellite Tracker on this trip, one less thing to lose and Europe is just a bit safer than South America was. I do have an interesting story on Ecuador which I need to share on the blog. So the "Location" link will not return our location.
I heard lots about this place . Recently, my friend went there appreciated this place very much. Now I am inspired so much after watching your photography. Well Done!
