Trip to Italy: Day 3 Florence

On our 3rd day we hopped on a train to Florence. Once we found our hotel and put our stuff down we headed out to discover Florence. We had a wonderful day just taking in the sites and wandering around town. We enjoyed some wonderful lunch and then hiked to the top of the Duomo. It was amazing to see the city from the top of the tower. Let me just tell you it was quite a hike, almost 500 stairs I believe, up a tight spiral staircase. We were stuck behind some very very very slow people climbing up, which led to much sweat on my part by the time we reached the top. The view was beautiful with all the red roofs and made the sweat worthwhile. We also enjoyed THE BEST meal of our trip at a little place by our hotel. We had the best pizza, mmm too good.
