Florence

Most of our time in Florence was occupied by leather products and Il Duomo. It is four-hundred and sixty-three steps to the base of the dome and regardless of age or health you sound like a panting dog by the time you get to the top. However, it provides one of the best views of the city and happens to be the perfect place for a photo opp. Another great place is the Ponte Vecchio it is unlike most bridges because from the outside it looks like a block of houses, but it is actually filled with jewelry shops and has a really pretty view up the river towards the mountains.
