Florence, Italy #Day73

2nd day in Florence~

This morning we went on a free walking tour of the medieval part of the city~

An artist created a series of funny road signs~

Down this street is where the author of Pinocchio~Carlo Collodi lived~

And this house is where Michelangelo grew up!~

After the tour we went to San Lorenzo Market where the locals say are the best food and bag stalls~ 

I bought my self a leather bag!

Then we walked over to the other side of the river to see the View from Piazzale Michelangelo~

Amazing!~

We then went to The Leather School of Foorence~

This school was started after the War to help orphans aquire a trade~

Inside you can watch bags being made which was really fascinating~

Tomorrow we are off on a day trip to Assisi!

Florence, Italy #Day72

Just 1 hour on the train from Pisa and we arrived in Florence! 

View from our window~

And just around the corner~ 

Florence Cathedral!~ 

I was absolutely blown away by its mammoth size and detailed exterior!~ 

It took 140 years to build! 

I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the many streets ~ 

Ponte Vecchio~ 

The bridge is lined full of jewellery shops!~

Best Spag Bol ever for dinner~ 

Pisa, Italy #Day71

A day in Pisa!

Yellow and Orange buildings everywhere~creating a haze of warmth~

And of course, the famous Leaning Tower!~ 

The majority of the main attractions are all in the same square! So it didn't take long to see everything!~ 

Pisa Cathedral~ 

Basilica~ 

(View of the Cathedral from the Basilica~)

Typical Tourist shot!~it's harder then it looks!!~

Walking around~

Botanical Gardens~ the oldest in the world! 

This palm produces honey without honeybees!~

Unfortunately there wasn't any flowers out as it is the wrong time of year!
