Day 10: Florence
... Michelangelo, which is on the top of a hill and overlooks the entirety of Florence across the river. My God, was it beautiful. Not only could we see the whole city, but also tumbling Tuscan hills with Cyprus trees and an old city wall unrolling into the distance. Not a bad couple of hours to spend in the afternoon. The hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo was strenuous, so we took our time coming back down the hill and across the river on our way to Santa Croce, a cathedral that houses ...
Day 9: Florence
Today was a full walking day around Florence. The crowds here are worse than they've been anywhere so far, but it may be because it was a beautiful Sunday and it's a small city, so it feels more cramped.

Being Challenged in a Not So Strange Land
... minutes had elapsed, indicating either that perhaps I am too impatient or that 15 minutes seems like a long time when you are suffering ! So yesterday was yet another memorable day. We started by taking a taxi that I thought was going to cost less than it did to Fiesole.
