How did we get Florence from Firenze?

Tuesday was our daytrip to Florence. As we only had a day, we hit just the major attractions.

The Duomo was quite impressive, but a little too ornate for my liking. And the surrounding crowds were unbearable.

This is a literal hole in the wall. You order at the door where there was a tiny kitchen and eat out on the street.

To escape the crowds we hiked up to the Piazza Michelangelo where there was a gorgeous overlook of the city. The Duomo is the church on the left.

We could have spent hours there, but unfortunately we had to rush back to catch our train.

There were David replications all over the city. Earlier in the day we were able to see the original which was breaktaking. And unlike most people there, I obeyed the no photo rule so sadly I don’t have one to show.

Ponte Vecchio, the bridge at the horizon, is another of Florence’s masterpieces.
