There were 17 of us in this group which was huge but SO much fun. The plans were made with the expectation that smaller groups would form but we actually all did the exact same thing until the second day when we ended up breaking into smaller groups.
We left Thursday night as usual but didn't get on our night train until 1:30am from Salzburg to Venice, Italy. During the train ride I borrowed a Europe book from one of the girls and took notes about main attractions in Florence. It was very handy while we were traveling Florence on Saturday! We arrived in Florence at 10:30am and we walked straight to a hostel that we managed to get rooms for everyone for only €16 (regularly €24). I was a follower pretty much all day Friday so I don't know how it happened but it was definitely a blessing. We settled into our hostel and caught a short 1 hour train ride to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower. We picked up food as we were walking to the Tower and I ordered pizza that unbeknownst to me had anchovies. It was possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten, I almost couldn't finish it. I'm not very picky when it comes to pizza and toppings but I will never eat pizza with anchovies again.
When we got to the Leaning Tower, we took pictures, looked at the souvenir shops along the road, laid in the grass, saw the Duomo di Pisa
At five we started walking back to the train station. We stopped by the supermarket when we got back to Florence and picked up spaghetti noodles and sauce for dinner. Having 17 people made doing things really easy since people could just take turns with jobs. Two of our friends worked so hard to make dinner and we had a big dinner party all together at the hostel! We had a whole floor to ourselves with four bedrooms and the kitchen so it was a ton of fun :)
