A Day Trip to Firenze, 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 (or Florence), where we have a spot of food and a bit of a wander around (along with what seems like half of the entire global population).
