Firenze

Again Pogo woke us up with a 10 minute licking attack, as we've learned, that means he is hungry! After catering to his needs, we enjoyed a quick bite and got ready for a day packed full of Florentine history.
We decided to be adventurous and take the bus into the city. We looked at the schedule online and headed down quickly to catch the next bus. However, we learned that on Sundays there is very limited service... So we trekked back up the hill, hopped in the car, and headed to Florence. Fortunately, metered parking is free and unlimited on Sundays, so we landed a place relatively close to the Ponte Vecchio. Walked into the city center and visited many of the sights. We were impressed by the grandiosity and intricacy of the Duomo.


However, we itching to see Michangelo's David, so we braved the two hour line, and decided it was worth it. Here we also learned that if you want to break a rule in Italy, it is best done during their lunchtime. (Whoops! No pictures allowed.)


Shortly after at 1pm, the security guards were back on full force regulating all the amateur paparazzi.

Enjoyed a pizza and salad at a restaurant in Piazza Della Repubblica.

Walked across the Ponte Vecchio to the Boboli Gardens which gave us a great view of the city.
