Picture Postcard of Florence


Greetings from Florence, Italy! Florence, or to the locals "Firenze" is a small town compared to the large cities we visited in the past fortnight. We're staying near Stazione di Santa Maria Novella which is the main terminal train station here in Florence. I went for a walk around town yesterday and it only took an afternoon to walk and have a look at most of Firenze's Piazza's and Churches. The landscape photo above was taken from a lookout called Piazzale Michelangelo, and the photo is of Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore and its bell tower. Travelling from Paris which is full of wide boulevards to Florence, I find that this city is cosy (small streets), noisy (noise travels easily within these tight valleys of apartment buildings) and very touristy (So many tourists - and it's not peak season yet!).
