Florence (Firenze), Italy, September 6-9

We flew out of Seattle on Sept 4 to London, flew British Airways in a sardine can to Marco Polo Airport (Venice), stayed overnight at the Vienna Hotel in Mestre/Marghera with a delightful dinner at the nearby Ristorante Bar Piccolo then caught a fast train to Florence the following mid-day. Checked in to our VRBO for the next four nights then went exploring to see The River Arno, Ponte Vecchio, the Palazzo Vecchio, famous statues outside the Uffizzi gallery including Perseus by Cellini and a reproduction of David by Michelangelo, Duomo Cathedral, as well as several plazas (piazza) along the way. The city is crowded with visitors!Meer informatie
