RE: Ponte Vecchio, Florence

in #travel7 years ago

I remember being in this exact place... in the early 90's.

Shortly after we parked our car, we had to turn back because the alarm went off. The door was open... and all they took was mom's sowing kit.

Half a hour past that... some Romanian gypsies were trying to steal my mom's wallet, while diverting her attention with newspapers with war reports...

What a crazy experience. I hope the criminal activity has reduced, meanwhile.

Thanks for your photo! :-D
