San Niccolo, Ponte Vecchio, & Gelato

Every weekend is a 3-day weekend!  So what else to do then adventure around Firenze, take choke photos, and scout out new and (cheaper) gelaterias!?

This Friday, I took my roommates and two of our new friends (YAY!) Jessi and Brianne on a mini "hike" up San Niccolo.  The view from San Niccolo is amazing.  You can see all of Firenze from up there and its absolutely breathtaking.  This place and Ponte Vecchio are probably and will continue to be my favorite go-to spots during my time in Firenze!  Its a bit touristy but for views like this, its worth the hassle to get through the crowd.  c:

Yours truly~!

Yay for making friends!

The view from San Niccolo.

The day was ridiculously hot and all of us were craving some fresh, cold gelato.  Just the other day, with the help of my roomies' Sierra and Melody's school friend from Korea, we found a sweet gelateria called "La Carraia Gelateria" that has cheap gelato (1 scoop for 1 euro!) that tastes good!  Its not my favorite gelateria but for the price, I might just become a regular!  I tried the tropicale flavor and it was so delicious!  My roomies got the pesca (peach) and the yogurt flavors but I think mines tasted better. hehe  Not to mention it was a pretty orangey-yellow color c:  But before we hit the gelateria, we had to take photos of the famous Ponte Vecchio!

Our gelati~!

After we parted ways with Jessi and Brianne, the roomies and I wandered around Firenze some more to do some window shopping c:  But the heat really started to get to us so we stopped by Astor, a hip and trendy cafe by day/bar by night kinda place.  We'll definitely be going back sometime to parrtayyy!  I guess Sierra was really thirsty because she was eyeing Melody out for the coffee! (see photo below)

Sierra: Ho voglia un caffe!
Melody: Delicioso!
Me: LOL! haha 

Keep reading my blog!  I promise I'll be updating more regularly!  Ciao~!
