Italy - Florence, Firenze

Trip: 9th March 2013 - 10th March 2013

We reached Florence on the 8th but stayed in for the night and was unable to find food!! In the end we ate the cup noodles that we brought and boiled our own water. Apparently the water is really hard and there is this thick white calcium carbonate layer when the boiled water settles. But well, didn't have a choice and the cup noodles tasted kind of weird.


9th March

And so we set out to the old town~


While crossing the river from our hotel





The sky was really blue!! Damn pretty!






As seen from the opposite side of the bank :)





While going up to Piazzale Michelangelo :)






And that's the statue of Michelangelo! And me trying to imitate him hahaha





After coming down from the Michelangelo place, we saw a (almost) full rainbow! First time in my life to see almost the whole stretch of it!!! So beautiful!






As we continued walking down, I got a bit mouth-itchy and bought gelato. Pistachio and Tiramisu flavours :) How can you not eat gelato when you are in Italy? Haha! :D






One of the nice architectural buildings around




10th March

Before leaving for Venice...


The Duomo :) But they were having a service when we there and thus no visiting allowed.
