Its our first full day here in Florence and it certainly begged to wake with the morning sun...and so we found ourselves walking the empty streets lured by the promise of fresh baked biscotti and espresso! It must be said, we will leave this city thinner in the wallet yet fatter everywhere else!
As we walked past the finest of stores we made our way down Via De Cerretani to Chiesa di Santa Maria del Fiore also more famously known as Del Duomo. We have posted two photo's of the cathedral. Just imagine in a couple hours this area, the roads will be packed with tourists and locals alike! The view and sheer scale of the cathedral is hard to describe, but its peaks reach for the skyline which is relative and therefore towers. Architectural and art detailing on the facade of the building defy words, well let us say one could easily spend hours studying them! Florence is rich and beautiful!
