Florence, Italy

From Civitavecchia, Rome we sailed overnight and reached Livorno, France on Monday April 10, 2017. Took bus from port to Cogorano where most of the tour attendees are picked-up. Cogorano to Florence is a 1.5 hour travel. Then – just like in Rome – nothing prepared us for Florence.

The Main Portal. 

 Details, details. Simply breathtaking.

 Inside the Cathedral.

Postcard photo of the Cathedral with the Dome (Duomo). Photo not mine.

Just a few steps from the Cathedral, we reached Pallazzo Vecchio. And met one of the many Davids scattered in the city. This will do for now as we did not have time to see the real one at Academy of Fine Arts – the Accademia.

Outside the Uffizi Museum. Replicas of Renaissance masterpieces.

 Me at the Uffizzi courtyard.

 The historical Ponte Vechhio – the most famous bridge in Florence and undoubtedly one of the city’s most illustrious landmarks. It is an incredibly breathtaking sight when seen from afar, and even more so when you walk across it!

A more beautiful photo of the bridge which I wished I had taken. Haha!
