Florence is a very large city, but easier to navigate. The shopping is amazing here, if you are into designer brands you will love this place.
We are staying at the Hotel Enza, which is walking distance from the sites. Yesterday, we got in late so we only went out for dinner. Our favorite meal yet, was at the Osteria Congrega. It was a tuscan wine bar and restaurant. It was a small, two story restaurant with an intimate atmoshpere. The food was a lot more fresh ingredients and the chocolate mouse was incredible.
Today we saw three major sites…
The Uffizzi was amazing, there was so much to see and the audio guide was really helpful. My favorite part was to be up and close to the birth of venus. The Accademia was a smaller museum but the David was it’s focus point. So much larger than we thought, this enormous masterpeice all from one peice of marble. Unfortanely, there were no cameras allowed at either museum.
Between the museums we briefly saw their El Duomo. I think this was Josh’s favorite beacuse it was simple inside and much more ornate on the outside. They were cleaning the marble in white and green.
For our last night in Florence we grabbed a slice of pizza and gelato for dinner. Tomorrow we go to Pisa.
Ciao.
