Florence: Leather and David by Cheyenne Lake

DSCN1627[1]Sunday, an early wake up and a late lay down. We woke up and went straight to the train station where Joshy showed us off. An hour and a half ride on the bullet train and we were now in Florence. Such a beautiful city, packed with beautiful things and full of history as well.  Just a walk around the city was amazing. It looked so much like Rome, yet so different. Everything was bigger here, where as in Rome everything was smaller. I saw a lot of brides taking photos with their grooms in this beautiful place. We did get the chance to shop around at all of the markets full of LEATHER, however, we did not get to see the original David, only the replica 🙁

It was a long day full of walking, every corner that I turned was another extravagant building full of some history behind it. As our last tourist point, we took a stroll through the Uffizi Gallery. So many paintings and beautiful artwork from some of the most acclaimed artists of all time. Every room we entered told a different story through each piece of work shown there. Like the Vatican Museum, it was also extremely large, making it impossible for us to see the whole thing in our short window of time. Nonetheless, it was still a remarkable experience and a sight to see. After a wonderful day in Florence, we had a laid back ride back home to Rome on the bullet train full of laughter. By the time we made it back to Emmaus Hotel, we were exhausted, all of us going straight to bed.
