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 of Rest

We checked out the piazza, church, panoramic views and leather shops (I loved one bag, and told Vicki and Chris they also had to buy something so I could justify my spend. ...
Planes, trains and automobiles...

So note to self: never eat the yellow snow and don't lay or walk on the middle of the tracks in Italy. ;) We took the bus to our hostel that we didn't have booked to see if we could talk them down, which we couldn't, but at the last place we were able to so we figured it was worth a try. I really like our hostel called; it is called 7 Santi. The huge building was once a convent, meaning it was the housing ...
