Today we decided to take the trip to Florence. On the bus to Poggibonsi, then train to Empoli, then another train to Florence where we decided to hop on the hop on hop off bus the best way to see the sights and hear the facts of the buildings etc. We got as far as The Piazzale Michelangelo where the overview of Florence is spectacular so we hopped off the bus to take in the view. You can see from the photos you can pick out a lot of the famous sights from this spot. Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and of course the city of Florence in its splendour. We also decided while we were stopped we would have lunch so we had a semi long lunch at very nice restaurant. Following this we got back on the bus to the city where we made our way to the Duomo, the line to go in was very long so we were satisfied to have a look around the outside and make our way back to the train station for the long journey home which was during peak hour in Italy which made it interesting travel. Off to Siena tomorrow getting the hang of this train travel.
