Day 6. Early birds we were: pretty nervous actually, it was the big day to pick up our Mercedes, which turned out to be a Volvo with dents and green paint on the side, I was very offended. We did not say anything, took the keys and signed the papers. It looked like a car remote from which a key came out but no place to put the key. We figured that one out and found the opening in the dash to put the remote in and press the start button, nothing... We trie...

Day 5, Surprise, surprise!... We actually woke up before the wake-up call: 7:00 AM to be exact. After breakfast, we had a very important assignment, buy a cell phone before we left Florence. Well, it was not easy, but we did it. Cheap here, really!... And guys, if we decide to call you, you pay for us, not us: Good deal!. On our way to Palazzo Pitti, we visited this beautiful church "Santa Maria Novella". It had very nice gardens in the ...

Day 4! With a wake-up call, we made it to breakfast finally... Our objective today was to visit "Il Duomo, the Cathedral and the Baptistry of San Giovanni".

Day 3, Disaster! We woke up at 10:50, very late. Had reservations for a visit to l'Uffizi (biggest museum of the Renaissance period in Italy). Yes, reservations were for 11:45!...

We're gooddd...... And that's a good thing! For the next six hours, we walked thro...

Hello Everyone, Well, we made it through our second day in Florence. It was another very hot day here. We started our day with the bus tour off Florence, number 1 priority was first trying to find the bus terminal, our receptionist at the desk this morning was not very helpful with that, but we did manage to find it eventually on our own. It was a not the best bus tour, when we returned from it we walked around on our own and visited the Palazzo Vecc...
