Honeymoon Report Part 2: Florence

So I know that this is long overdue but Florence is an AMAZING city. Just some highlights from our three nights in Florence before moving on to Roma:

  • We stayed right in the center of the city and got upgraded to a suite because it was our honeymoon.

  • The Statue of David is all it's hyped up to be. You're technically not supposed take pictures, but of course we did!
  • You can never have too much pizza or gelato. NEVER!
  • Eating pizza on a bridge overlooking the river is romantic <3 li="">

  • You can find great views of the city at the Piazza Michelangelo!
  • Riding a horse in the Tuscan hillside can be dangerous.

  • The Tuscan hillside is beautiful though. We enjoyed wine and honey with the amazing views.
  • San Gimignano is a quaint town on a hill in Tuscany. Lots of history, and amazing views. They also have strange horror museums, but we were told they are just tourist traps.

  • Napolean opened a bottle of champagne with a sword... and so did Chels!
  • Duomo means "dome" (doesn't take long to explore, so a must see).
  • The leaning tower is the only thing in Pisa

  • Florence is extremely easy to navigate. However, it is easy to get lost in Pisa.

  • No need to rent a car; take the train!
