Italy, Florence – Part 1

Florence was beautiful. Florence is beautiful. It is patently obvious from the moment you step off the train why so many people yearn to go there, and then forever yearn to go back again. I purposely organised all our travel days to have no commitments other than travel, and was rewarded for this when the travel ended up being really easy and uncomplicated!

We arrived with no hassles, walked our bags to the new hotel, got settled, and then were free to head out and roam around this beautiful city! Would you like to know more?

The Rijksmuseum

Himself’s Sister wanted to go to the Rijksmuseum not once in the week she stayed with us, but four times!

And we still didn’t get to see all of it! I must admit, this made me feel better about never being able to see everything in one day! Would you like to know more?
