Finding Firenze

After a slow start, we walked to the Pizzale Michelangelo. Quite a hike up stairs and a steep road had us looking over Florence with its terracotta roofs, bridges and the Duomo. We then walked down and into the heart of Florence to the Santa Croce Basilica. We went inside and saw great stained glass and the tomb of Galileo Galilee and Michelangelo. We then had lunch - the best ravioli ever with sheep's cheese, gnocchi with tomato sauce and salad. Oh yum. €50 including 3 drinks. Back to the apartment to have a siesta. We then went to see the markets of leather, tshirts and.....selfiesticks. Try as you will, you cannot evade them. We dropped by the Florence Cathedral next. No way you could fit that in a normal picture frame and the facade was so ornate. Back to the apartment for a little while before venturing out again for dinner. We went to Il David right near where we are staying. Pretty good meal and great tiramisu and canoli!Meer informatie
