Hotel Dali Florence

... been craving since Venice. After a quick walking tour of our hotel's surroundings we returned to our hotel briefly, before embarking on a twilight tour of Florence. We walked past Il Duomo, once again, this time sans giant backpacks, then towards Ponte ...

... eager to see us and chat for a while.We agreed that this type of vacation was great, a morning and early afternoon of seeing the sights, a relaxing lunch, visiting Lidia, and then hanging out in the garden. But made even better by being in Florence. ...

... on the grand canal. All the big shots, Picasso, Dali and Kandinsky, defiantly quality not quantity. Canadian flags: At the Florence train station I was greeted by a Canadian welcoming comity which consisted of a guy and a girl from Halifax. Very ...

... the narrow street -- a trick I learned from a parking attendant was actually quite common in Florence.   Thus arrived somewhat ass-first at the Hotel Dali, we were faced with another challenge: the entrance to their parking area was one ...

... .  It was drizzling rain by the time I got here.  Got out my umbrella and walked the 20 minutes or so to my hotel, Hotel Dali.  Layed down and slept for about an hour and then hit the streets.  It was too late (about 4:30p) to go to ...

So Hotel Dali... In LP book. Fairly crap. Room smells strongly of vinegar. Toilet makes terrible strangling noise when flushed, shower drain clogs up and water builds/over flows. Florence is very nice. Hear the occassional American accent, but ...

... . Getting there was as smooth as could be and we enjoyed talking to a linguist from Rome on the way over. Upon ariving in Florence, however, we got EXTREMELY lost looking for the hostel. When we finally found it TWO HOURS LATER (no joke) we were told ...

... book.  Now I think I'll go back to the hotel and take a nap, and then get ready to explore my last night in Florence.  I've been walking my butt off.  For example, I've been wearing my pedometer the last couple weeks, and I've been ...

... a different way to get my point across. After the glory of Rome and the charm of Siena, I have to say that Florence was initially a disappointment... I arrived on Sunday afternoon, and it was SO CROWDED with tourists I couldn't believe it! What's it ...

... woman, and one of the nicest people I had ever met. "Let's ask her opinion," I said. The big question: should we stay in Florence with the hotel, the pool, the gelato, etc, or trudge to Sorrento on 2 trains and a taxi to be on the Amalfi Coast in a sun ...

... ! On further investigation we found that there were lots of art museums and even more foreign art students studying in Florence. Following the directions in a second hand guide book we located Galleria dell'Accademia, the museum that housed the statue of ...

... (water bus) and arrived safe and sound.  The hotel is very nice, and suits our standard for "better than the one in Florence."  It seems to be sinking a little faster on one side, which is rather par for the Venetian course, but it's still ...

Are we there yet? We arrived Barcelona from Florence at 8:30 am ready for sun, sand and relaxation. No tours, no churches, no required museums.  Each day to define itself. We checked in and dropped our bags at the new W Hotel located on Barcelonetta ...

... days to listen to music and walk amoungst the beauty. Probably the only city that has affected me this much has been Florence, which I would put on a par with Prague, they are both absolutley stunning. We do have something to thank the communists for ...

... sausage incident in Austria. I would be surprised to see him eat dogs again at a Rockies game. Tomorrow, we are off to Florence. A 3 hour drive. The difficulty will be getting the car out of the parking garage and down a tight 8 story circular exit ...

... we had about an hour to kill at the station. We made reservations on the train from Milan to Zurich (we already had reservations from Florence to Milan), so now we are almost set to make it to Paris by the 26th to pick up Adrienne. The train from Zurich ...

... to Trieste, but at least I had daylight vistas for most of the way, with snowy panoramas of the upper Apennines between Florence and Bologna, and then sweeping sunset views of the flatlands around Padua. The wait in between the trains went quite quickly, ...

... The wife turns out to be a freak. The guy starts to wig out on me. It's like a Polanski film... We stop for a while in Florence, where I see some big dome. A bomb goes off and I lose the weird couple, which is probably for the best...  Ended up ...

... before dinner. Although the family lived in Africa during Babeth's childhood, they spent their summers in Carnac. She and her sister, Florence, showed us their favorite spots as we toured first on bicycles and then in the car. We drove up and down and ...

... already imagine myself in the city taking 1,000 or so pictures in 5 days. I would love to take some excursions to cities like Florence, Venice, or Pisa while I'm there. I really need to make an extended trip to Italy one of these days. I would love to ...
