Downtown Florence



Coming from the airport, Florence apperance' reminds me of any bigger city in Germany, streets are plugged with traffic, county workers working on potholes in the middle of the day, small streets lined with trees, car parking on both sides, public parks with old skulpures, honking impatient drivers.

One major aspect differs thou, scooters and bikes galore, it seems that the amount of both out number the use of cars and to top it off they have an awesome bus system.
The word "speed limit" is unheard of and it is scary to cross the street, even if you are waiting on a traffic light. So just close your eyes and take all the courage you can muster and cross the street.



Downtown Florence is just a walk away from our hotel,
it it an explosion of images, it is beautiful, astounding,
one after another, the buildings, the arcitecture, the businesses that offer mouth watering foods, cobble stones, the river that flows right trough town with its apartment building lining both edges. I had the feeling this was a part of Disneyland, almost to pretty to be true.
