Day 16
Florence
March 15 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Day 2 Florence. We have set times to see The Baptistry Saint John and the Santa Reparata (the remains of the previous cathedral which was demolished when the existing one was complete).
Richard opted for the Duomo Cupola for the grand view after climbing over 400 steps.
Sauntered in the morning, a light lunch and then off to respective sites.
The Baptistry was amazing - an octagonal ceiling which has 1000 sq metres of mosaic embellishment. To this day it is in continual renovation, Stunning masterpiece. Three entryways have ornate bronze doors - the originals are in the museum on site.

Quick freshen up then time to catch up with brother Dave and Jane who arrived from Devon. Fun evening at Ciros & Sons.Read more

Day 17
Greve & Bucine
March 16 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Saturday morning and we collect our rental car, heading south to Greve and ultimately Bucine where the wedding will take place.
Greve is a lovely little town and we are definitely in Chianti country. The black rooster sign on the building is seen on many bottles in this area. Rolling countryside and lush green hills. It's beautiful country.
Settled in then headed to the next town to pick up the groceries and drinks for 13 people for the next few days. 5 shopping trolleys later!
Had our first glimpse of the villa as we dropped off everything. So exciting!
Dinner was in a delightful restaurant in Bucine. Walked home in the starry evening. Perfect. The last photo is the villa lit up.Read more
Traveler So excited for you all! Today’s the day!!💕
