We waved Assisi goodbye to make our way to Florence, via a quick stop at Siena.
Siena Main Square
Arriving in Florence, we bid a sad farewell to our Audi … and cabbed it to our B&B Quattro Poeti … which was great except for the three flights of stairs with two big full suitcases + backpack and bag.
After a friendly and comprehensive overview of the city by our B&B host Marcel we headed out into the city for two sunny warm clear days of exploring…
Florence Part 1 Thursday Afternoon
- Leonardo Da Vinci museum
- The Baptistry
- The Bell Tower … all 463 steps of it …
- Walk over the Ponte Vecchio medieval stone arch bridge to The Fountain of Neptune on the Piazza della Signoria (Signoria square), in front of the Palazzo Vecchio along with many other statues
- Pasta for dinner then a stroll to get some pistachio ice cream
The view of Florence from The Bell Tower
Florence Part 2 Friday
- The Duomo Museum
- Found an awesome 3 storey indoor enclosed slippery slide … but was too much of a scrooge to pay the 7 Euro to use it …
- The Academia Museum with the statue of David
- The Cathedral
- More pasta for dinner followed by more pistachio ice cream!
