18 Sep Florence: A Feast For Your Eyes
Having spent just three short days in this magical town, I can now totally relate to my mom’s dream of visiting Florence. It’s as special and romantic as the clichés make it out to be, and I would honestly spend all my Autumns here if I could.
We first arrived in Florence (en route to our next Workaway), stopping for just one night to breathe in some fresh Tuscan air (and to eat big cheesy pizzas and mouth-watering gelatos, obviously!) What soon followed, was a we-got-lost-and-loved-it tour of the city centre, stopping at the grand Il Duomo di Firenze (holy hell this is a GORGEOUS creation), crossing the unique structure of Ponte Vecchio, and ending up at Piazzale Michelangelo to view the bronze cast David replica, and a panoramic site that literally left us speechless.
Round two of our Florence trip, had us stopping by a month later to celebrate our 5 year anniversary (unreal that time has flown so fast) to enjoy a memorable tour of the entire city in a vintage Fiat 500. I can safely say, that if you are planning on visiting Florence, and want to get a real taste of Italy’s second capital, you should, hands-down, do it in one of these little Italian icons. Most fun we’ve had in a while! It’s also super simple to find accommodation in Florence during the Autumn months, so keep that in mind when planning your itinerary!
Oh, one last thing… David is very well, um, sculpted (just in case you were wondering).

Enjoy!
