No haycart in sight

This morning we left the beautiful city of Roma to head to another beautiful city - Florence.

After we arrived we headed to our accommodation to drop off our bags in a hallway (very safe) before embarking on a journey around the city. We stopped by the most beautiful 2 story food hall, some markets before getting to the Galleria degli Uffizi, which had thousands of beautiful and somewhat questionable pieces of art including The birth of Venus.

After spending a good amount of time in the museum we headed to our accommodation to check in and securely store our bags.

We specifically chose this accommodation as it had a view of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Brunelleschi's dome, and we are quite literally at its doorstep, the view is otherworldly and stunning.

We then decided to climb Giotto's Bell Tower, which was just under 500 steps and gave a wonderful view of the city.

For dinner we decided to splurge and try one of the city's delicacies - a 1.5kg Florentine steak. Phill had an absolute ball with this and has made the statement that it was "the best steak I've ever had" (which is good because it was a weeks worth of groceries)
