After a sea day and a transit day we arrived in Florence. We opted for staying in an 'agiturismo', which became quite limiting in transportation options, but we made the best of it. The guesthouse is in a working vineyard and olive farm; and the dining room serves farm to table cuisine. We enjoyed trying the variety of offerings over the course of three nights. The first day we stayed at the farm and took a long walk up to a town on a ridge top near by. It reminded us the camino; walking through Tuscan vineyards, through old towns and stopping in the square for lunch. The second day we took the a long bus ride to Florence. We explores the city by foot, taking in the cities unique architectural design. Because of our limited time and crowded venues, we didn't go into any museums. Michelangelo's David will just have to wait for us another time; though we saw plenty of replicas throughout the city. We ended with a walk along the Arno river and catching a bus back to the country guesthouse.
