Day 3

YToday we had to wake up at 7am, again. We slept very well after a late night. This morning we traveled on the bus to Campi Bisenzio and went to the bakery to see what happens behind the scenes. They showed how to make croissants. We took lots of photos and it was a great experience. We even got to taste some of the delicious treats. Mmmmmmmmm! After that, we went on a lovely walk to one of Ornella's many schools. We were baking pasta but first we had to make it. One of the teachers taught us how to do it. First you had to add some flour and then eggs. Then add some boiling hot water to the mix.  After added a hint of salt for flavour. The mixture had to be mixed very well so we could get some good pasta. When it was mixed we added some flour to the board to make sure the dough didn't stick to the board. We put the dough on top of the flour and kneaded the dough. It got our hands very sticky and it was tricky to roll but we mastered it. 

After our pasta making we went to visit the town hall and the Major's chamber were we spoke to his deputy- we will meet the major tomorrow! 

After this we went back to school for lunch in the canteen with the children. It was very delicious but very noisy- not as noisy as our lunch hall though! We then had some free time and went for a short walk and some daisy picking- Miss Bell made a daisy chain- genius! 


We had a short walk to the other school where Miss Bell and Mrs Norton went into a boring meeting and we played games with the other children. We taught them how to play wink murder, duck, duck, goose and what time is it mr wolf- it was very exciting and everyone loved our games! 

Returning to Florence on the bus, we decided we fancied some 'English' food for tea as we were all pasta-ed out! We went to the Hard Rock Cafe and had burgers and hot dogs. Then of course, on the way back to the hotel, we went for ICE CREAM- it took everyone a while to decide as there was over 20 flavours and Frankie ended up with an ice cream beard! 

Now having time to chill ready for an extremely busy day tomorrow- CAN'T WAIT!!

  3. Hi Keira, I can't believe how great it looks there. The photos are fantastic (keep them coming)!! Who was that in the photo with you by yourself, its a great photo. It also looks as though yous have been lucky with the weather, it looks nice & sunny and quite warm. Niamh & Mia are very jealous because of all the ice creams you are eating!! The chickens haven't laid any eggs yet, we thought Ginger was going to last night, but there was no egg there this morning. Ginger is being very naughty and jumping up onto the coop and then onto the top of the trailer. She followed Dad into the house today (what a cheeky chicken - lol)!! Well enjoy your day tomorrow sweetheart I'm sure you will, we all miss you very, very much - & Mia is keep asking 'Is Keira STILL in Italy'!!
