European free line (11)

Author: Florence ALICE

A night of tossing and turning, 5 am the conductor returned to our passports, Florence.

The peas Matt Diamond's United States guy asked how we rest of complaining over almost all night-chat that they buy are tourism-tail, 450 euros and visit Europe, later you can explore such play, will save a lot.

European train even the next door to help themselves, we charge for half a day of trouble trying to open the old door.

A group does not know from where the students stand out, probably like not knowing where to stay in. This time in Italy have not yet got up in the streets or even a taxi. At the station near the hotel and found nothing, then finally saw a TAXI, expand the tree to show him the location of the hotel, make a mouth direct drivers dulu of Italy English heard we were a bit silly, Florence streets are we in Europe to see the most narrow, finally understand why Italy drove like toy compact. Seven turns eight kidnappers finally found the hotel, there is no room, had to allow drivers to pull our continued to another, and seven to eight go, good in the alley, many of the HOTEL, we were looking for, a dragged big box of black people told us he was looking for a long time did not find in all FREEROOM discouraged, in a three storey HOTEL finally found two rooms, there is no black room.

Find local nature to resolve the problem of insufficient sleep, sleep to get up out of the 10 points more.

Italy missing Germany neat and orderly, the street of garbage is everywhere, also free to walk through traffic. It seems that romantic and order sometimes is a contradiction.

Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance in Europe, the world famous cultural attractions.

Urban areas remains of the Roman period. We'll follow the big old street, to the Cathedral of great lent, which is a very splendid Romanesque architecture, starting from the design to the entire building is completed, it is the work of several generations of artists. It consists of black, green and pink striped marble brick wall, very attractive, but the unique large dome and Bell Tower in the chic to its essence.

Toucinho columns Plaza is located in Florence City Centre, there is a built in the 13th century bunker-jiugong (now the Town Hall).

The tower is jiugong Italy most objective capture the eye of the public buildings. The whole square became an open-air Sculpture Museum, its stone carving and sculpture works of vivid, lifelike images that people are familiar with Michelangelo's "David like" copy very conspicuous, here is also where many visitors, a group of students in the United States, David left a wonderful gesture.

It is said that Florence city over 40 museums and galleries, and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the largest and most famous one, tickets 12 €, which featured a large number of Renaissance sculpture and painting.

We have to make an appointment, but it still will be queued. Outside many buskers, selling paintings, there are more interesting, dressed up as mythological figures, the most popular Cupid, clothing or look like that many visitors to compete with him.

Walk is, South of the ancient bridge (Ponte Vecchio).

The bridge across the South section of Arnaud wearing River, North-South link the city. Ancient bridge looks very fancy, look to say it is a "bridge", I do not say that it is a "bridge", as along the sides of the bridge is the different time forest than the vast majority of stores, shops, handicrafts and silver jewelry shop, and on-site production of workshop. Its name is "bridges" absolutely real, because it is the old bridge in Florence Chin, was founded in the year 972 year, later by Picciotto disciples brother the design, built in 1345, finally. In order to protect the "Millennium longevity", over the years has been on the bridge is only allowed to leave, to the opening, so did protect intact.

Walk into Florence as through time tunnel, back to the romantic poetry of the Renaissance era, even if not romantic you all with full of passion and vitality.
