Florence

We had a smooth departure to Florence. That afternoon we went to see Ponte Vecchio which was nuts - just so many people. On the other side of the Arno river, we climbed the hill to the Bronze David. It was very surprising to see how tourist spots and their precious historical monuments are simply not maintained. There were high weeds in lots of areas in public places and overgrown grass.
Walked around the sights. People love this city but we weren’t overwhelmed. Mind you I was at my worst with a revisited chest infection so not in great spirits.
Our accomodation was terrific with a roof top terrace so we ate in, got a candle and a bottle. Best ever Dona kebabs.Read more
