after our whirlwind day in rome we headed to florence for a few days of relaxing and exploring the city. We got into florence mid morning. we couldn’t check into our hostel and sleep yet so we decided to walk around the city instead. i really liked florence. Its small enough to walk around, but big enough to have lots to see. my favorite thing in florence was their cathedral, which is huge! it really is one of the biggest churches i think i’ve ever seen. it was so tall that if you looked at the top of it you couldn’t see the ground and it almost looked like it was moving. we decided not to go into it today, but to save that for another day. we spent a few hours exploring, but then deiced to go back to our hostel so that we could get a little sleep. after being up for over 36 hours we were very tired. after we both slept for a bit and showered we decided to head down to the little chinese restaurant below our hostel, which was a bad idea. it was here that we discovered the sitting fee that they charge in italy. of course they don’t tell you they are going to charge you and although its on the menu its in about 8pt font, so good luck seeing it. after our experience in greece we were not happy to once again get charged without knowing. 
anyways here are some pictures from our first day in florence…
