Goodbye Impruneta






We walked down town to get Jacobs watch fixed, and to buy some snacks and chocolate for tomorrows big trips.
Florence to Milan, change trains, and on to Zurich, then change trains, onto Zurich Airport, then fly out at 9pm to Singapore.. Its going to be a big day.we will buy a bag for all our winter boots and jackets etc, that just dont fit ,,, but we will need them till Zurich, so thats OK.
Hotel is booked for Singapore, and will drop bags and head off to Newtons Circus, for some good Asain food at the hawkers stalls
Kids craving rice and satays
we are all packed, and have eaten the majority of the food we bought.
I am bringing back some of the Italian Cocoa,and the Glassi Balsamic dressing.

This holiday will be something you guys will laugh and share for the rest of your lives. You've been building family memories that are priceless, and it's wonderful for you to share a smidge with us.

And Mark, we feel for you being so ill, but I have no doubt it's been a great source of amusement for the other 3 Smiths already..smattered with genuine conern of course....
We really send a big thanks for taking the time to include us in your adventure, it's been a great ride. Hope the train trip back is smooth and prompt. Have visions of the kids like Pavlov's dog...drooling all the way to Newton's circus....
Take care, and we look forward to your safe arrival home.
Love K.A.K.C xxxx
ps...Jake...apparently cabins and day groups may be sorted by House..kids have not been consulted about groups at all.

Mark & Ruth,
One should never again travel without Ruth's Blog, as you then have something sensational to read when your flight is delayed by eight hours.
It was great following you guys around the globe. Loved the highlights, we enjoyed Mark's dysentary the best, (Bought on by too much boiled cabbage in England I am sure.) So hurry up and get back here safely, we are all looking forward to the video version.(Pictures of walls no doubt!!!!)
