European travel notes of seven backpack single 6-Italy Florence and Pisa

Before coming to Florence, some people say that if you have enough time to abandon Rome, but be sure to go to Florence. I listen to a skeptical, but well known in Rome. Luckily I have time to visit the two places, and then I came to the conclusion: If you first visit to Italy, Rome is of course wrong to go, but Florence mellow taste but says it is worth to a second, third.

When in another city tour is from one spot to the next scene, a Buddha, like a big attractions, churches, museums and palaces make up most of the city.

In addition to the central train station, as if she hadn't seen other modern architecture. Llano River from East to West through the Buddha, break it into two parts in the North and South. The city still bathed in sunlight, air also like gelatin-like soft, translucent, in sparkling Llano River City around, Buddha seem beautiful sleep in medieval time awake.

Buddha in the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance of three years, by Menezes family rule at the end of the West.

At that time Italy disunited, meishi family in Florence Republic forces overwrite in the County, the number of Pisa I also saw the family many monuments and statues. The history of Buddhism and city can be abbreviated to meishi family rivalries with other giants of the story, that sounds like our rituals and Wang Kai bucket rich memories. Domestic heard meishi family man, but if you say they found during the Renaissance and has trained a large number of artists, including m downhill and cheerful-Leonardo da Vinci, is well known. Buddha city because far from Rome, the Tribunal holds that as a result of the dictatorship in the emerging bourgeoisie free atmosphere here can be developed.

Go to the Buddha, don't always crowded frequented by flower Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Lorenz Church, Goldsmith, bridge, etc, in the urban fringe of St. Luke's Church, St. Angel good news Church, Holy Cross Church, Emperor Palace, m open base falls Plaza Department can better appreciate the city's deep flavor.

Above all there are about ctrip's I would not have come so far, the following optional to brief:

-Goldsmith Bridge: Llano River has four bridge, Goldsmith bridge (remember correctly should be the most Eastern Island) is the most beautiful, the bridge has two to three floors of the building.

It is said that the bridge used the cobbler, and later a member of the Grand Duke put them all away, ordered a more elegant fix-Goldsmith-moved to the bridge. Now the bridge of gold and silver jewellery shop or business. Prices I have no experience to say (I remember I saw the cheapest is 12 miles pull), but I think at least no fakes.

-Saint Angel Saint Angelo Church: in the North of the city of the Buddha, is a medieval legacy of the ancient Church.

Internal circular, Chaplain of the room and so are super Antiquities. Especially the clergy House frescoes are particularly worth seeing. In the church there is a small square in front, there are many souvenirs and Italy traditional food, spices, herbs, SOAP, etc., a lot of things I do not know what to do, I do not know what to use to send to see interesting. Although the market, but generally cannot bargain here.

Note: the frescoes refers to the artist just painted on the wall of wet lime direct painting, only a small piece, but also a successful, if not irreparable.

After the lime and lime paints dry chemical reactions to color anomaly is bright, durable non-refundable. And pigments to infiltrate wall depth up to several millimetres to scrub.

-Industry protection shrine: at Town Hall Square West, not far away, across several lanes to (without a map cannot explain specific azimuth).

This is a square of the shrine, in the exterior wall of the cave dedicated to ancient Florence city Patron Saint in various sectors, such as tailoring and God, God, divine horsemen of stonemasons. Idol's attitude, and look lively, the idol of large blocks of relief depicting the work of the industry. No travel guide mentioned here, I was at the tourist information office in Buddha asked. Indeed is a very unique attractions.

-Incomplete building: is a man in Naples made a fortune by bankers to overshadow the meishi family built, although the whole building has three floors, but each layer has unusual building 3rd floor so high.

It has successively released land back 50 houses. Commence date please the Astrology home liquidated, as have put a lot of capital, must not appear at all. This building was finally completed a master's in front of exhaustion, as several pocket change hands after going to be changed to the exhibition hall. Watch the building couldn't help thinking that the old adage goes: "miserable to see him up, he saw his guests, banquet floor. ”

In Buddhist city tour of the best means of transport is the legs and, on the one hand, is not a big city (hotel, a United States-American boy said he one day and ran through the town), on the other hand only rely on the legs to fully appreciate the charm of the Buddha.

In the Town Hall square and dressed in medieval Bard's rebellious students with skip unknown dance, in the small square and wild pigeons luncheons in Llano River Bridge over the River on YuanWang sunset slowly falling, it is to live in luxury hotels, and private visitors enjoy.

Dinner at Buddha city may be a problem, I only see two old fast-food burgers, one at the railway station.

Local hotel price is much higher than that of a 30 000 lira also may not be able to eat. Preferably in the rucksack Senese a takeaway as lunch.

Special arrangements for the next day to go to Pisa, this is located in Florence about two hundred kilometers to the West of town, take the train for about two hours.

Pisa is a quiet little town, I went to when I happened to be Sunday, large and small churches are in a mass, I also ran in all along for the ride. I never imagined in a church priest finished prayer after took a small basket stepped down from the podium, I haven't responded to come this is alms, small baskets have been extended to me, not only their pockets to donors, but laments God did not long eyes: "here the poorest I'm afraid I have is, how it is my pocket money to someone else?"

World-renowned Pisa, because also in the maintenance phase is not open to visitors, but listening to the end will allow tourists 01 log Tower.

The Tower of the Gothic church, p. exterior white pigment, internal WeiE-spectacular. Then the West is an octagonal-shaped baptism Church, with white stone decorative wall, plus the White Tower, three white building is surrounded by a large green lawn around, jewelled head of blue sky and white clouds is very pleasing. A little far away there is also a castle ruins, walls, corner on a roaring lion statue, slightly better.

After leaving the leaning tower of Pisa and found that it's still early, just a short walk along the Llano River swans (Llano River flows through Florence and Pisa, then into the sea), no period is intended to be the smallest church in Europe: Kunstverein nad.

The whole Church as a kiosk, built on the banks of the river of the sidewalk, aspect however metres. But the Sparrow is small, UCH, Church of Saints statue, the altar, the Church in the Middle seats. The Church houses a is said to be Jesus's Crown of thorns wearing a thorn (Jesus was nailed on the cross, escorting soldiers forced him to wear a Crown of thorns to ridicule the King of the Jewish people), and outside of the sculpture, sheathing full use is made of white marble, elegant and noble.

Here I would like to describe something bad happened: I was away from the leaning tower of Pisa and not far from the chaos around a street, a very hungry for Middle East women reached out to me for money, I follow the habit in her hands on a coin, she was also me back left beaten aica rub refused to go.

I stayed with her interpretation I is not rich, I do not know where to drill out of four or five similarly dressed woman surrounded me, with cardboard for begging-arrival in my chest, my predecessor after sight are blocked. When the first women's hand into my left trousers Pocket squeeze the wallet to smoke, I felt immediately go to the folder with the left hand, she even hands Qi with relentless force took his wallet. I just turned and ask if she recovered her purse, cardboard and arrive at my chest behind, at the same time they put between wallet a pass, I simply don't see wallet but on. In this case I entirely anxious is incoherent, only grasp it with both hands first paunch Turkey women arm said nothing would relax, keeps saying you want to call the police. When the tourists around the onlookers, the thieves have angry in the wallet fell back. Before I point out money, they've slipped of vanishing.

Said it was to remind everyone to play safety always comes first.

If possible you should companions (thieves must see I only desire to start a single). Now I think about it, I can get back to the wallet is lucky.

In Florence and Pisa seems to be no other renowned attractions, I nonstop next stop: Venice.
