Firenze




My 2nd stop in Italia was Florence. After Venice my expectations for Florence were high, and to be honest..it wasnt as great as I thought it would be. Nonetheless, it deserves a days time of any person who is traveling in Italy. We spent 2 nights in Florence. Our hostel was cute, and gave us free breakfast in the mornings and cheap dinner options at night. My favorite Florence moment will forever be the statue of David at the Accademia. Omg...ive never seen a statue this great. I probably stared at him in silence for at least 30 minutes. I would get tickets in advance for the Accademia, or be prepared to wait in line. The 2nd pic is my Pisa pic. Very touristy I know, but it had to be done. In my opinion this lil town, which is 45 min away costing 11euro, is worth the trip. The 3rd and 4th pics are by the river...and the last pic is of the seriously amazing church there. This is on my top 3 favorite churches list..but I think its for sure the prettiest on the outside of all that Ive seen so far. Other than those touristy things, we spent the rest of our time shopping in the flea markets, laying in the sun in the square, and eating...of course..gelato.
