After the long 6 hour drive to Florence went only had a few hours to explore our first day. Couldn't get into the famous Domo so we climbed the bell tower to get full 360 degree views of Florence and the beautiful Tuscan hills. The buildings are just as beautiful and detailed as the amazing scenery and hills. Another thing that is hard to put into words and pictures is realizing how old these cities and buildings are. They are full of so much history and significance it is mind blowing. The next day we had a leather demonstration and lessons on how to tell fake from real. We got a walking tour of the city and had the rest of the day to explore. A few of us went together to the Micheli palace and walked through the Botanico Gardens and again had one of the most amazing views. That night we had a dinner overlooking the Tuscan hills and for a group dinner, it was amazing. It was a family restaurant and they made sure the wine glasses and your plates were constantly full!! This morning we were up early to head to Pisa!!
Didn't realize how small Pisa actually was!! Literally the tower and church are the entire thing!! Stopped at an outlet mall for lunch and then got to spend a few hours in Verona. Went to Juliet's famous balcony and only got to explore the town briefly but it was the cutest, full of energy little town and I only got to see a small section!! Tomorrow we spend literally 12 hours on the island of Venice so another busy busy day!!!!
