We arrived in Florence today, at about lunch time. Found our hotel which is gorgeous!! Checked in, then went for a wander, we went down to the Duomo, it was about 2ish so everyone was eating, a good time to get in the line to go up!! We walked up roughly 470 stairs to the top of the duomo! The views were totally worth it! Amazing. We then wandered down to the Ponte Vechio bridge and looked through the shops etc... We stopped for a vino in the Piazza Ponte Vechio, which was nice to just people watch.
We then stopped at a supermarket, got snacks and a bottle (well actually a carton) of wine haha, and headed up to Piazza Michaelangelo to watch the sunset, it was just gorgeous, so many people doing the same thing, sitting around watching the sky and amazing views.
After that we had been recommended a restaurant by our hotel owner, and it was a great recommendation! Down a little side street near the Ufuzzi Gallery, it was yummy! I had tortellini with creamed truffles (Dad you would've loved it!), and panacota for dessert!
We sat next to a lovely couple from Holland that we ended up chatting to all night! Didn't leave the restaurant till 11.30pm. So we are now ready for sleep!
Heading to Pisa in the morning for a look, then the Academia Museum tomorrow afternoon. Loving Firenze!!
