Italy 14-day free line Florence (3 days)

Day 4 shock of Florence

Xu Zhimo have to Firenze Florence translated into "roller printed", a poetic name.

Before asking the two went to colleagues what Florence beautiful where, apart from a face of intoxicated is not find words to describe.

Fourth day in the morning we sit on a Eurostar train finally came to Firenze roller printed! it turned two train our third round first came to the hotel Hotel Enza.

That at first pumping a mouthful of air conditioners: Hotel also in residential building, second floor, the problem is there is no elevator! good in human potential is endless, shut our eyes are the two big box to move. The receptionist was very warm, conveniently miss for a map of Florence, tell us the most important attractions where, cheap leather goods where, high quality leather goods where, what is the best route. At pointing at the Kunstverein and connected flower Uffizi Gallery of the road when she purposely said: "Here it is very dangerous for your money!" I at first thought she refers to the thief, then understand you in the street would be tempted to buy something!

Enza room not only than Rome, and exquisite.

Curtains, bed sheets, the picture on the wall, even bathroom hang roll everything through a thick art! I started to feel faint and Rome Florence will be dramatically different city!

We go to flower Kunstverein (dil Piazza Duomo), the road into a street corner drugstore buy colleagues entrusted of lifu springs.

Unconsciously we from drugstore another door and went out, shake and so unsuspecting to come: a white Church lunged, green and red marble outlines a variety of lines, the most awesome is the Church of surface everywhere statue and pattern, there is no ordinary! I just think that eye enough lest leakage at any details. Next to a United States old too was awesome, and she laughed side open hands to her companion laments to: "Look at this! Look at this!” Travel before I ever see a photograph of the church Our Lady of the flowers, why no such feelings? after I have checked online photos, only to find that shock mesmerizing exquisite details are already drowning in Church of panoramas, unable to distinguish! we are for this years tour! no matter how wonderful photos and video are not seen to come get real!

In the queue, etc. into the Church, I still looked greedy Church in every detail, worth seeing a hundred times.

Even in the next two days, each time here, I couldn't stop to take some photos. This church there apart from 91 metre high Dome, painted by the Vasari's "down there is nothing too many treasures.

From the Church, we queued flowers to climb 6 euro 463 step reached the Church the world-famous round dome-end.

At first I really think it is a crime under spending money to buy, climbing stairs not only tired and dizzy, due to the narrow and spiraling staircase. And so came to the dome, feel that everything is worth it. We stood in the middle of Florence, able to leap to see the entire red roofs of Florence. City of the surrounding green hills, typical Tuscan scenery. Just how do I shoot all pictures do not transfer the feeling of being there. Down before we close watched dome fresco "the end of the trial, that is another kind of shock. In 91 m height painting fresco, probably more than Michelangelo in the 20-meter-high local painting the creation of more exciting?

Next to the Church of St. Giovanni, baptism Church (Baptistery of San Giovanni), an octagonal building.

Baptism of the surface has accumulated a lot of dust, far away to see some bad, but it is the four-door bronze door Emboss tell me this is not an ordinary building. In particular the exquisite gilt embossed really let me. After verifying this door was Michelangelo hailed as "heaven's door".

That day I understand why my colleagues out of adjectives to describe the beauty of Florence.

I can't!

Day 5 morning, Uffizi Gallery and the odd

Florence, a small city but brings together many of the world's art treasures.

When people all over the world to come to see the invaders look, queued issues arise. And the Vatican is even lined team would not necessarily be able to, so the Florentine took another approach: make an appointment. We in the previous ceiling 4 euro booked this morning at nine in the Uffizi Gallery (Uffizi Gallery). Booking fee is really expensive, tickets to 6.5 Europe. However, when I see today in the door without reservation in another door Baba to wait, or feel that you should take the time to buy 4 euro.

The "Uffizi" originally rulers of Florence Meidiqi (Medici) family house, later dedicated to the storage of collected from meidiqi family art around.

In the odd family reign of the last three centuries, they not only around the purchase of art treasures, but also direct subsidies like da Vinci, Michelangelo such artists directly in the "Uffizi" be creative. Think about that time, money and power to support the arts, of course, there will be a lot of people to the arts as a lifetime career. Participate in a lot of people, increasing the genius, after all, only in the tens of thousands of individuals out of a genius. Renaissance art members a long list, you can have several? if I were born in that era would die of hunger.

Uffizi art treasures to show the whole two rows of houses, also need to always keep collections take turns out to you.

Next year the look of it not exactly the same thing. This is caused by tourists repeatedly to queue up one of the reasons?

Uffizi Museum for Chinese tourists.

Not only the exquisite Chinese tour guide books (each 10 euro), Chinese pronunciation guide, and the two words canAs long as a machine with two pair of headphones, and help us save some money. This should be studied in Rome.

We listened to explain the side walk, in the part of the Pavilion is the refurbishment of the cases, see three hours.

Because doing homework in advance, pay special attention to the Portage Miceli (Sandro Botticelli) work "Spring" (The Allegory of Spring). Artists can use oil paint show goddess as thin as shim-winged cloak wrinkle is truly amazing.

Day 5 pm David like and Popoli garden

From Uffizi Gallery out next to the municipal square (Piazza della Signoria).

Plaza on the many sculptures, a very fine, all free to watch. The characteristics of these sculptures are: essentially the muscular nude shuainan, even if there are two women, so is the head was cut off by the Snake from Banshee Medusa or captive women, nothing brilliant image. In the status of women do not have the time, the engraving is naked men in order to demonstrate the power and authority? should and sexy.

All the most famous of the statue is a copy of: Michelangelo's David, a deliberately been enlarged limbs ratio makes it perfect for the ultimate.

The original is actually in the same city of College Art Gallery. Just next to the copy of David as there are thousands of tourists in the photo, but we ate a multi-day art food later temporarily eat more, decided not to buy tickets to see really like David.

Afternoon we went to the Kapiti Palace at Popoli garden for a change.

Popoli garden fame was not as good as Uffizi Gallery, although we spent 4 Europe booking, but found that it is a waste of money, doesn't need to be queued. Popoli Garden (Boboli Garden), very few tourists, is close to natural hiding quiet good place! PITI Palace tickets including medieval costume exhibition. Because the old, almost can't see those clothes was brilliant. But there is a belt chastity is quite impressive. Actually, someone with that stuff!

5 afternoon wechiau bridge of three color gold

From Popoli garden back the inevitable after wechiau bridge (Ponte Vecchio).

This bridge is from the thirteenth century onwards meat traders and leather shops of the world, 1593, was the first Beach plum family head of Ferdinando Grand Duke hate the smell on the bridge, ordered all into a jewelry store.

That short of a bridge on dozens of jewelry, every door in the window is placed at numerous gold and silver jewelry, so we don't know where to look.

My take on the Raiders said 8, suitable Asian delicate, and reasonable prices, so we start boun No. 8. Sure enough, soon we all like a necklace. Next you go to buy a home, Vivian just bought a piece, like a ring, but think it is too expensive, indecision. The sales lady, Oh no, the 40-year-old left-right of the salesperson's aunt asked her how much of the budget. Vivian just quoted a few that uncles to go to find similar complies with her budget request ring went (in fact, a company on this bridge, all too often, there are several shops). In the shop, pinned to the US and the rest of the MS of two salespersons, knowing their chat trio only one is the local people, and the remaining two are Germany and Romania. I quickly expressed his admiration, can live in this beautiful city is so lucky.

After 15 minutes, Germany of a salesperson's aunt took four similar section of the ring back, price gap up to 100 euro.

In fact, etc., Vivian already saw another white, red, yellow three-color gold pattern ring, decided not to buy Germany aunt back. Germany aunt is sullen expression, shrugged was busy invoicing. A little later, Vivian credit card company phone also Chase came and asked her the third just spending money is not she herself spent. In this respect, our shopping action also officially opened the prologue.

Day 6 The Mall on the morning of Florence

In the last few days has one wheel, from the start I had yesterday evening left leg cramps, is good.

Today's play is shopping, be sure to clear the air.

The Italy tour of six cities in Florence has the Mall, only its nature and Outlet of the United States, but there is no comparison between the scale, only 25 brands.

See the Web address is http://www.themall.it because someone buy online too-low price brand, so I want to see.

We at the SITA bus station near the railway station directly to The Mall to buy the bus to return 6.2 Europe.

Buying completion, only to find that the vote did not indicate the number platform on the bus. As strange moment, suddenly found a platform with more than 20 Asian people are waiting for the bus, thought that this is almost the same. Approaching the in creased! these people are basically Japan, Korea, Taiwan and our continent. The bus arrives, there are over 80 passengers, even a 70-seat bus car there are as many as a dozen or so people had to stand. There is a Chinese girl with an empty suitcase and put it in quite the way in the middle of the aisle.

Drove out littleway, appeared in front of a bus driver called empty, we stood on that one person can be empty.

They say that in Italy people productivity slow, this vehicle dispatching soon! so, we sit around a empty bus car, watched the scenery of Tuscany, 30 minutes later came to the Mall is located in the suburbs.

Mall at ten whole stood at the door, we're here.

Only first sauntered, snoop out all the specific location of the big stores. Side from time to time there are tall dressed of Europeans. I wonder how the car almost didn't see a? a, everywhere is found that whites are passed from the car park next to theBy-the-people are driving.

Ten times faster, and so on GUCCI store most of the people at the door.

The door opened, everyone flocked into the look of the package, see the package, on the glasses on the glasses. In a moment, that bring empty suitcases in the hands of the Chinese woman has got three bag, a good old dressier Korea four wallet. I felt and Vivian classical rarely, nothing to buy. Tod's shop goods is very full, each edge of the shoe is placed for at least six dimensions of the cargo, there is a lack of size can also be called a salesperson to the Treasury. Pick up shoes to the salesperson, she will write down your name shoes to the checkout counter, convenient for you to continue to choose from. empty Check out our pick good shoes, revealed more buy a purse, wallet can make 70%, the results of counting rebate I to 41 European price to a very generous Tod's wallet!

Probably is not to discount their quarter in July, we have not seen too many cheap and nice stuff.

Once saw a beautiful bag Ferragamo, the label says "the last piece, 420 Euro". I can only give up. Vivian in Mall in heroic struggle to the last minute, I was at the Mall of restaurant sent the last more than half an hour, and then we sat at 12: 45 minutes by car back to Florence.

Italy 14-day free row and the pride of the six days in Florence

Back to Florence hotel, we put the loot dropped, leaving in search of Leather Workshop.

Italy's leather is world famous, among these, Florence.

We follow the day the hotel receptionist describes found leather Street Santa Croce. It may take a few steps, it is also true in a small church of backyard depths to find a leather school: Ingresso Scuola del Cuoio Leather School Workshop and Showroom.

On the first floor of the cottage has four or five States tourists is learning to do put credit card wallet, 20-year-old beauty, there are more than fifty of the United States there is an old too, about Taiwan.

United States old learning is not serious, looked up and we chat to ask where we are, the beauty of your mind on her live, didn't carry the eyelid.

Genuine Leather Showroom and Workshop on the second floor.

In the middle of the wide corridors, there are various packages, showcase, and older workers are doing Leather stamping. The two sides of one small room exhibiting all kinds of garments, shoes, bags ... At first, I'm ecstatic, to think that something in the workplace should be cheap, specifically asked a Saleswoman looks like woman, there are not 200 Europe following packages. She immediately very proud and very simple answer: "sorry, no. "I've just come back from the Mall, so I also feel that they asked of 200 euro is a very cheap price, and so after waking time thought, 1800 Yuan to buy a package? really crazy!

Subsequently checked in online, this was a very famous leather school na, founded in 1930, the purpose of the second world war orphans learn skills depend.

Now this school has hosted many of the world celebrities visit, such as the United Kingdom, Japan and Sweden's Royal family, John f. Kennedy, his wife, a former United States President Ronald Reagan, Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, and so on. No wonder they don't sell 200 Europe following ones!
