A Day Trip to Firenze, Tuscany, Italy - 24th July 2008

Nosher drives the sprog-hauler up the autostrada, complete with Isobel, Jules, Pieter and the Finnish Massive, to the near-ish town of Firenze, where we have some food and a bit of a wander around, along with what seems like half of the entire global population. Afterwards, Nosher has to head back to the UK early for a BBs gig, but Isobel hangs on with Camera B to get a few photos of the wedding that the visit was all about.
