Ah, Firenze, the city that gave birth to the Renaissance and changed the way we view the world. Amazingly enough, the Scary Bus was on time, both Italian trains were on time & we found our hotel - all without a hint of a meltdown; major or otherwise.
As promised Hotel Varasi is a short walk from the train station - would be simple to reach if not for the scooters zooming from almost every direction. Between the scooters and the people; it takes a bit of getting used to.
Our hotel is comfortable - the bathrooms are cozy; practically standing in the bidet to take a shower. On our 1st walk - we stumbled onto the Duomo, in the lovely late afternoon light. It's breath-taking.
Later we walked a few blocks from the hotel and had a wonderful supper.
Today we had a so-so breakfast before heading out to the Duomo, San Lorenzo, San Marco and then stopped for lunch. Philip and I headed back to the hotel. Laurrie & Jim were off to Ponte Vecchio.
More later
