Florence, Pisa, and Cinque Terre

The first thing we did when arrive in Florence is to check in our hotel and take the bus to Piazzale Michaelangelo since this is where you can see the best view of Florence.

We stayed at San Gallo Palace Hotel, it's away from tourist area are but it's close to the restaurant that we absolutely love called Antica Trattoria. (awesome waitress and food)

The next day we did a food tour called Florence for foodies.

First they took us to Academia Gallery where you see statue of David. Definitely need to see it in person, the detail that Michelangelo did with a piece of marble is loss for words

Then we went to The San Lorenzo Food market and tried their famous cow stomach sandwich 

(Nerbone), then we went to Conti stand where we tasted cheese, wine, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. All divine! Then we stopped by Forno di Bruschi Ivana where they serve us salty donut and wine. Finally ended the tour with gelato

After the food tour, we took the advise of the photography group to visit Museum duomo. There you purchase the ticket to climb up to the top of Duomo, the sight is amazing!

 We spent the next day explore Pisa and Cinque Terre

On our last day in Florence, we explored Ponte Vecchio up close and stopped by outside of Uffizi Gallery
