After a poor night's sleep (too much napping the day before?) we're out to see the Science Museum -- officially called the Institute and Museum of the History of Science. -- It turns out be a fascinating collection of scientific devices and instruments, including Gallileo's telescopes and inexplicably -- one of his mummified fingers. It's a nice change from the crowds which frequent the "must-see" attractions.
We manage the long walk, small luggage in hand, back to the train station to claim our (Vivienne's) car. Florence's last fiscal zinger for us: our parking fee slightly exceeds that of our hotel bill. Ooouch. Guess we should have moved it instead of letting it sit there for 48 hours. The rain begins in earnest as we start off for the hour-long drive back to Lido di Camaiore.
