Venice to Florence.....


So as we say bye to Venice & travel by train for 2 hours to Florence. We arrive at Florence & we both just love it here. Such a pretty place, just so laid back expect for the traffic, just like Paris crazy driving skills tight squeezes but again some how it just seems to work.

Our room is amazing very nice indeed, heaps of room to move, & a bath that is so big & nice.....

So we drop off our luggage & head out, at the end of the street is a massive Christmas tree & The Church of Santa Maria Del Fiore.

We strolled the streets for hours just looking at different things, such a pretty pretty place.....

Off to the Panoramic Observation Deck for a drink & some pictures, we also had dinner up there. After dinner we went back out & looked at the city of a night, so pretty all decked out for Christmas. It is cold here but not as cold as it was in Venice.....




We watch the sunrise over Venice one last time.....



We arrive in Florence....


Street Markets.....
